A timber framed kiosk for UMD
UMD will have a campground right near the Bagley Nature Area. Tim Bates of the Recreational Sports Outdoor Program at UMD approached me to build a kiosk to serve as a welcome and information spot.
Of course, being a timber framer I could not resist using joinery.
So there you have it. A stout little frame of pressure treated 6by6 with four mortise and tenon joints, properly draw bored.
Ready to be set into four feet of concrete.
Mind you the sono tubes installed by university maintenance went quite a bit deeper and required some filling and compacting. Nonetheless big thanks to the grounds crew for doing the digging.
Propped up, plumbed and braced.
Ready for concrete. Thanks for your help Tim.
On to the roof.
Joinery for ridge and plates.
No time to pause for a shot of just the rafters…straight on to the plywood and shingles. There’s rain in the forecast…
A proper common rafter roof.
Chamfers to take away some of the beefiness of 6 by 6’s
A metal ridge cap to top things off.
Welcome campers!
