The practical task and the checklist below are exactly what this lesson will teach. What is missing is the written explanation and the curated links, each one fetched and verified before it ships.

Checklist
- Post footings sized for wind loading, not just weight
- Spans checked against a span table for the timber or steel used
- Any required building permit obtained before starting
- Services roughed in before surfaces and cladding go on
