The first thing to do is take apart and number the parts for the trusses. They have been built off site and have started to arrive on Friday. We were hoping to start on the assembly of this earlier in the week, but we were defeated by the weather.
All of the oak has been treated with Osmo UV Protection Oil to prevent the weather damaging or marking the wood. This also added to the time required.
The oak trusses have been built off site in an industrial unit. Today they arrived on site.
As well as the three large tie beams, there are a number of other oak pieces that make up the trusses. All of these bits were made in an industrial unit and then numbered and taken apart. We will reassemble on site in their final position.
