First green oak project

[nick d]

Hi all
I wish I’d found this site before. Having watched pros working on my house (see avatar). I thought I would have a go myself.
I’ve been working on a a green oak conservatory structure for the last few days. Hopefully will get it finished this afternoon although these last few are very heavy
Any way it’s been a joy to do so far
Cheers
Nick

Welcome to the forum. That looks like more-than-an-afternoon's work. I look forward to seeing it completed.

Wonderful stuff! Welcome by the way. Always wanted to do work like that but never had the opportunity, well they will be heavy at about 40%? pure water lol. Ian

Hello and welcome.

Are you not going to include any wind braces?

What is the joint plan in top right corner of third photo? Is a half lap going rest on it?

Finished oak frame now
The rest is just softwood rafters hopefully get the ridge and 4 rafters on tomorrow and rest of rafters cut that’s if I can get the timber
