This is basically an arbor project with a masonry
retaining wall and sandstone deck cut into a sloping hillside. The arbor is a free-standing
version of the Wingartner Project
and a smaller version of the Buckley
Project.
The canopy lath is 2x4 Douglas Fir lath on edge,
painted white.
It's
set into a hillside and is designed as a swing platform -- the reason for
the center horizontal beam cutting through the billowed canopy.
The arbor has been engineered to support a 5-ft wide
swing. Note the use of arched knee-bracing above the post collars for added
lateral stability for the swing.
