Project Summary

Dimensions and spans are conceptual and will be tuned during detailing and engineering.

Structure & Materials

• Main posts: 8″ pressure-treated posts; quantity/spacing per span and wind exposure.
• Primary beams: 8″ pressure-treated pine beams, sized to bay spacing and loading.
• Rafters: round natural pine, 4–5″ diameter, with uplift straps/ties.
• Top framing: natural pine 3×4 timbers where specified (lookouts/purlins).
• Fasteners/Hardware: exterior structural screws/bolts (e.g., TimberLOK®) and hot-dip galvanized or stainless connectors.
• Roofing: synthetic thatch system with matching ridge; drip management at eaves.

Plan & Function

• Tapered plan aligns to angled lot geometry while keeping a clear circulation lane along the pad/drive.
• Comfortable zones for 6–8 seat dining plus lounge; or a 10–12′ L-bar with back counter.
• Eave height set for headroom and ceiling-fan clearance; concealed chases available for LED lighting.
• Landscape screening along the edge for privacy and wind relief (as shown in renders).

Options & Variations

• Entertainment package: bar-centric layout, under-counter refrigeration, pass-through shelf.
• High-wind exposure: heavier connector schedule and passive ridge/hip venting.
• Tight lots: reduce narrow side width and extend the long side to stay near ≈500 sq ft.
• Low-maintenance set: synthetic thatch + annual hardware check and quick rinse.

Compliance Notes

• Verify setbacks, easements, and HOA requirements for Port St. Lucie prior to final layout.
• Design to applicable Florida Building Code wind criteria for the site.
• Final post count/spacing, beam sizes, and connection details to be confirmed by a licensed professional.

Design concept for inspiration; not a sealed plan. Field-verify dimensions and engineer for your site.
