    Sloping Garden / Excavated Garden Room

    Nice idea, so have a slope and a smaller retaining wall, and effectively just bridge over the gap to the roof.

    Sloping Garden / Excavated Garden Room

    Ok, I understand, makes sense, but if the frame is of the appropriate gauge to take the calculated "live load", would this construction method not be suitable? My understanding is that these steel systems are actually stronger than wood?
