Re: the frame twist and mounting....I am putting thoughts on that on the back burner, as I am not even sure there is a problem and it is months down the road.
Right now I am getting closer to needing to come up with the skin design for the roof. If I use aluminum and need something to go between the aluminum and marine plywood, how do I attach the aluminum to the plywood without using fasteners? It would be a shame to have a true one piece aluminum roof with zero holes, then mess it all up with leaky rivits.
Further, how hard is it going to be to obtain and manuever 8.5 feet by 22 feet of 0.050 aluminum...
Perhaps the other ideas, like EPDM or fiberglassing the plywood...
