Pata Community Project -Winchcombe
Originally the project involved placing a roof on an existing performance stage, however it quickly became clear that the existing structure was rotten and unsafe. Our team then completed a design and build of a new stage complete with roof and seating on sides and along the back.
The design catered for the new structure being built on a archaeological site, this prevented us digging holes for the support posts. This was overcome by using adjustable plastic support pads that held the posts and also provided a way to level the structure while holding all the timber off the ground greatly reducing the risk of water damage. The structure was finished off with a clear preservative to give a natural timber look.
