Chapter 2: Unbuilding, Rebuilding
In order to achieve the long spans required by the
bottom chord and rafters, reclaimed members will be
doubled up and nailed together such that they overlap
with one another mid-way in a brick-like pattern.
The typical member is sized 92-5/8” so that they could
be assembled from reclaimed studs salvaged from a
typical 8ʼ high room.
