HeartwoodRes Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I have a few ideas, but I'm pretty sure there has to be an easier way than how I'm trying it. How would you all go about scratch building an outdoor trellis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartwoodRes Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm going from a hand drawing, so it's not too pretty, but here it is. I should have included it in the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I go to the 2nd floor and create a deck, after setup it's very fast, creates 2x? on top ( really decking) works really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I am not so sure that I would be building brick piers on a timber deck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvoyeDesign Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've done it with a roof plane, and removing all non essentail layers, fascia, soffit, gutters, etc. This way you can add a slight pitch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I build all my trellis's manually. This way I have total control and makes it easier for construction drawings. Once you've done it several times, it gets quicker to do. I also put the different members on separate layers so it makes it easier to edit if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 of course if it's custom, it must be done manually, I seem to run into simple ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
