Reply:I like the design and nice welds as well.So, two end "rafters" are bowed downward to onto spacers on top of the 4 x 10's, and then all the central rafters are bowed up to and welded to the 2 x 4 ? strongback that spans the one end curve to the other?   Did that make sense?  So the strongback stays on there?Thanks
