What kind of wood was used for the top frames?
Can you buy patterns?

Maple, birch, elm, beech. The tree should not have through knots, cracks and bundles. Humidity not higher than 12%

Thanks for the reply. The wood in my truck seems to be a softer wood and I wonder if the rough lumber I had left over would work (Hard Maple).
I have most of the frame and only missing one slat I call it from the front to the rear but some rot and decay.
I was concerned about beating in the tacks for the roof material and gutters without having to use a 20oz hammer.
Thanks for the reply
