This is a temporary 2x4 brace between the 4x4 braces. I'll probably use a bolted 2x6 here when completed.
Braced and almost ready to be stood up. The posts are still 12' long. Need to cut them down once I've taken some good measurements with the water level.
I'll be standing them up with this little guy. He'll also be living Under one of the carports.
