A-Frame - YOung HArris, GA

A friend of mine had the fantastic idea to build an A-frame a while back. She asked if I’d build it—and I said yes. I’m going to document some of the process here and share photos since I don’t have a social media presence.

We started with the foundation, and the walls are fairly stout—thanks to my friends at Koblasz & Kennison Engineering in Atlanta for the design work. Since the site has a sharp grade on the mountain, a slab foundation wasn’t an option. Perimeter walls were a must. The total foundation length is 60 feet, and the wall height comes to 33 ½ feet.
