I am a bricklayer by trade and have built a Gazebo in my backyard. I was wondering what I was going to do with the roof because I didn't want it to look plane, I came across Reciprocal roof truss design and this post. It will go good with what I have because I have twisted brick piers. If I could? I can send you some pics so you can see what I have done so far. Thxs for posting.<br /><br />BillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013368914389948656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-85120544791034320672012-03-12T09:12:14.875-04:002012-03-12T09:12:14.875-04:00Rich,

Actually, i want a perfect gazebo ion my patio and this post gives some innovation to me for designing my own gazebo.

They are not builders, as such, but developers of design and specifications, and are often more concerned with adhering to a philosophical or stylistic ideal rather than a practical ideal, and two, architects rarely go back and see how their old designs are standing up over time, learning some lessons, and applying those lessons to their newer work. If they did, they would have abandoned modernism, with its liking for flat roofs and no eaves, long ago.<br /><br />Glad you like the glimpse I have so far provided of my design. Yes, it would be a sweet carpentry project and hopefully I will find a client who wants me to build it some day!<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-70276112007276896862012-02-21T06:24:05.360-05:002012-02-21T06:24:05.360-05:00Tico, I have been thinking about that too sometime...Tico, I have been thinking about that too sometimes, but I guess not having a TV helps.<br /><br />Chris,<br />The question of design and purpose is very relevant today I think. Designers, not only of houses, often seem to forget the purpose of the thing they are designing. This has been so for many years and not really getting any better in general. I agree with you in the 2 "simple" examples you found, not very practical nor aesthetic. The same with eaves, I personally love large graceful eaves, but a lot of architects seem to have forgot that the purpose of eaves is to keep water of the walls and foundations of the house. Where I live, eaves on most houses has been reduced to a minimum for many years. This makes the houses look boxy and the houses being of wood get completely soaked every time it rains. In combination with equally bad designed flashing and roof connections, this has led to a lot of serious problems with mold in newer buildings. This is beginning to cost a lot of money and worse, giving a lot of people otherwise completely unnecessary health problems.<br />On the other hand, the drawing you come up with is a very good example of purposeful design. It does everything it is supposed to do in a graceful manner and provides the carpenter with work for a long time too!Per Hansennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-58666918493530616802012-02-20T21:02:58.088-05:002012-02-20T21:02:58.088-05:00Tico,
