Here are some observations to take note of if building another such structure:
- Use square posts, if possible.
- If using non-square posts, try to make sure they are at least straight as possible.
- When checking the layout of the posts, check their tops AND bottoms! The bottoms my be square but the tops may be out! Of course, this isn't as much a problem if you have straight posts (see #2)!
BTW: I DID align/check-for-perpendicular the posts used in the woodshed, but the posts where not straight and therefore, after I cut the tops off my posts to obtain the roof slope I wanted, the new "tops" where no longer directly above the posts bottoms! - Put the "girts" on the upper and lower roof portions before placing rafters. I simply placed the rafters between the upper and lower roof posts first and then "filled in". This caused the rafters to be non-parallel which eventually led to the roof being very hard to put on straight!
