And, if they did a reseal every 7-10 years or kept it under some cover, it would last forever, and wood can be repaired with materials available anywhere.
what about light plywood (poplar for example) as a structural material instead of solid pine? It would give the opportunity to laminate and overlap all the corners stronger if you build up the structure let's say from three layers of plywood. Is it a cost thing or am i thinking wrong?
@juutuubsillu1021 cost and weight. I'm not entirely certain what you're exact design thinking is though. You could most definitely make rafters out of plywood standing on edge. Those are much stronger than pine, and that just happens to be exactly how we do our framed roofs for smaller builds.
