After the base was squared and well fastened wall assembly proceeded. Particular attention was paid to placing the bolts in the tracks for attaching assembly parts, future shelves, and brackets. The sketches in oldmudhouses' blog show this very well (Thanks Sheri).
The panels were secured with the glazing clips and 3/4" stainless self taping screws with a neoprene washer between the panel and cross supports. All the roof panels were glazed with clear silicon calking.
Nearly all the wall panels will be glazed as well.The north side will most likely be removed for a head house and potting shed. I already have made a painted plywood removable door panel for easy entry during construction.
I added an interior frame made of 1" EMT for snow,ice, and wind load. There are 4 upright post, approx. 3' from the sides and 4' from the ends, which locates them toward the front of the benches. There are 2 purlins (purloins) that sit atop the post from front to back, and to collar tie crossing at the level of the top wall plate. The EMT is tied together with wall brackets and SS self taping screws as seen in the 4th pic.
