Lilydale Picnic Shelter is a small project that Woodell Detailing provided the structural steel detailing on.Â

Challenges and achievements
The project's uniquely shaped roofline with seemingly random elevations to make a zigzag pattern created challenges. This combined with several skewed lines of steel made it difficult to get the rooflines to flow smoothly. The columns are made up of built-up Corten plates that are exposed to view. The soffit edge is all made up of Corten plates that is exposed to view.Â

Using Tekla software
Tekla allowed up to be able to view how the flow of the roof lines would come together which allowed us to make adjustments to make a smooth flowing roofline.Â
