We measure and quote this design "post to post, outside face of posts". The rafters and beams overhang the outside face of the posts by 1ft on all sides.
Example: A 12x14 measures 12x14 to the outside face of the posts and has a roof span of 14x16, with the arched rafters being 14ft long from tip to tip and the beams being 16ft long.
Base package includes:
