Each of the varying methods of joinery used in Arbor Trellis #19 are utilized for a purpose. All driven by design to allow the assembly to breath, to expand and contract. When these parameters are met, in conjunction with stress loads called upon each segment, we have a construction that will by all accounts last far into the future.
