Bracket proposed by contractor. Not acceptable. No bracket in the Village looks like this. See below for bracket on twin.
Custom post with contractor's proposed bracket and pedestal.
Contractor's pedestal.
Contractor's pedestal. There is some warpage in the Cumaru wood (aka Brazilian teak). This is what the wood looked like when new.
When the porch was rebuilt, the contractor did not measure before removing the old porch. Then the new porch was constructed to match the size of the roof. The porch will have to be extended. This pedestal is just a mockup. The pedestals will not be plywood, but will be sapele.
Back porch wood. It did not warp like the Camaru wood.
