Abstract
A framing system, according to the present invention, comprises a base frame and multiple framing arches attached to the base frame at selected intervals. Each framing arch comprises a pair of lumber leg segments, a pair of lumber roof rib segments, angle frame connectors joining each leg segment to a roof rib segment and joining one roof rib segment to another roof rib segment, base frame connectors joining each leg segment to the base frame, and lumber edge segment and a lumber ridge segment. The edge segments extend transversely of the framing arches with each edge segment being mounted in the angle frame connectors that join leg segments to roof rib segments on one side of the framing system. The ridge segment extends transversely of the framing arches and is mounted in the angle frame connectors that join one roof rib segment to another roof rib segment.
