13 x 16 DIY Post & Beam Pavilion Build Part 4: Completing the Frame

Part 4 of the 13x16 post & beam pavilion build....here we install the permanent bracing for the frame and add an additional 300 lb beam solo. You have to properly brace the frame before starting the roof framing so that everything doesn't fall over like a house of cards. I decided to add another 8x10x13' beam in the center of the frame. Raising this additional' beam solo without the tractor was surprisingly easy despite it weighing in excess of 300 lbs.
All the lumber has been milled by myself on the Woodland Mill HM126 sawmill. SO satisfying building with lumber I milled myself with trees felled on my own property!
