Post and Panel Construction

摘要

An assembly for integrating an elongate structural member such as a post or a beam, and one or more panels is provided. The elongate structural member includes a notch defined within the elongate structural member. The notch includes a base surface and two side surfaces at opposite ends of the base surface. At least one of the side surfaces is tiered. The tiered side surface includes an inner portion and an outer portion that are substantially parallel to each other. The inner portion is substantially perpendicular and is adjacent to the base surface. The outer portion is offset from the inner portion and is positioned further away from the second side surface compared to the inner portion. A first panel is positioned within the notch and faces at least the base surface and the inner portion of the tiered surface. A second panel may be positioned within the notch.

主权项

1. An elongate structural member defining therein at least one notch, the notch comprising a base surface, and a first side surface and a second side surface that are at opposite ends of the base surface, wherein:
the first side surface is tiered and the second side surface is not tiered; the tiered first side surface comprises an inner portion and multiple outer portions that are substantially parallel to each other, the inner portion being substantially perpendicular and immediately adjacent to the base surface and each of the multiple outer portions being offset from the inner portion and positioned increasingly further away from the base surface and increasingly further away from the second side surface; and the notch is configured to receive at least a first panel and a second panel substantially parallel to each other, with at least the base surface and the inner portion of the tiered first surface configured to face the first panel, and at least one of the multiple outer portions of the tiered first side surface configured to substantially face the second panel.
