Trusses or hand frame?
10 years ago
I was just wondering how you go about getting this covered porch look? Is it hand framed, or did you use parallel chord trusses? I have seen a covered porch with scissor trusses, but never like this! I love it and would like to know how it is built! Thank you in advance!
