Drilling holes?

[dokkan1080]

Can these be drilled?

The diagonal beams going up to the roof that is?

Dead weight is what it is and the rafter design would take that into account, but snow and wind loading is according to where in the world the structure is going to be constructed, if you go back to the beginning of this thread (post 7) you will see I asked some pertinent questions concerning the structure.

Incidentally using phenolic and glue-lamb construction I could design a pin portal out of matchsticks that would support a centurion tank, have a look at the swimming pool roof on the Sir John Cash Foundation roof which I re-designed after its collapse due to using high alumina cement being used in the late 60's.

Sorry the above should say "The Sir John Cass Foundation" bottle of Merlot down and the memory is not all it was.
