Hi Gil
We rented 2 barges .the wood was stacked almost 10 ft high and took almost a week to get it all on the Island.
The drywall ,cedar siding and deck material all came in different loads.

Very cool - I like the look, plus it'd be a nice place to sit and dry off after using that hot tub you're building next! It took the stress test just fine as well!
Looks like maybe you tennoned the back, arms and legs together, and if so, I'd be interested to know how you went about it.

Looks really great John, but tell me. How big of a pole will you use to mount it on?
