    After you are finished, Terlingua should hire you to create the ARCH D'TERLINGUA.

    Great truss, why not make the rest triangular (when looking at the end down the length)? Less materials, less build time, less weight to move. Granted I'm no engineer, but always like to save time, effort and $$$.

    When you first started the truss, I thought you'd make them triangular, also.

    Very nice welding!
    I hate to say this, but in a greenhouse environment these guys are gonna rust pretty quick. You might want to paint them. ...I know another step after all that work.....drats.....
    Just a thought.
