frame construction

The focus of this photo is the junction of the rafters

at the apex of the roof. It shows the two rafters at

their point of intersection, the haunches that strengthen

the frame and various bolted connections.

This detail depicts the Knee joint of the portal frame;
you can see the UC stanchion, rafter, haunching,

stiffening plates and fly bracing. The box gutter supported
by spandek is also visible.
