   This is absolutely wonderful. I love the scissors trusses and the truss bracing, the overall scape and proportion and obviously the design of the louvers. I would love to learn more about the mechanics of them.

   Will warping of the slats be an issue over time?

   This design is very very clever.

   crscomacon...thank you for the kind words, This was truly a labor of love since I not only designed it but built it as well. The Actually mechanics of louvers were not my design. They were purchased from a company called flex-fence, although they had no sets that were 15' long so we had to modify them to get these long runs.

   The span of the boards is around 3'-6" and there has been 3 or 4 boards that have warped but that's a small proportion of the 702 individual louvers. They can't support much weight so it's imperative when cleaning or staining the roof that no one walks on them.
