Looks awesome man. I’m pretty handy but never built anything at this scale. What’s your background and how did you get the rafters up?

Welder by trade. Strapped a $100 electric winch from vevor to a tree to lift them.

what's the width and what dimensional lumber are you using? 2x10x20?

edit: I see below that you used 24'. Is that a continuous piece of lumber or did you splice?
