The shade cloth has shipped and will be here next Monday.
We finished the sides and the frame for the front, and cut out the front piece. We are rethinking how to mount the floor and the benches (are currently leaning towards using aluminum or steel I-beams, because there's not quite enough clearance to do it with wood). We'll finish the front piece in the next couple of days and start working on the back piano part. I'd love to get the floor mounts finished in the next week so we can start working on the benches and the floor. After we get that in, that should be all for the structural components, except for mounting the roof!
By Monday, we need to finish hinging the roof, so we can cut, sew, and grommet the shade cloth to fit over it, and create mounting points for the grommets without necessarily permanently attaching the shade cloth.Â
