That's for sure. It's a little over-engineered but that's what I like to do! I didn't want the deck wobbling / shaking / making a noise when the dome rotates - esp since it's relatively high off the ground. Anyway, I could park a truck on this thing!

You thinks right. 6k on the button. Materials alone were 4.2k. And I only did it because Gail insisted!

Are those braces and bearers h3 treated?

Thanks Ray! Yes, all H3. I kid you not, this thing is
very solid and rigid. Essentially my design but the builder added a few ideas (of course).
