Glue-laminated superstructures rest on wood columns on the south side, while a board-formed concrete bearing wall offers privacy.
The board-formed concrete bearing wall shields also serves as a barrier from the nearby driveway.
Three smaller roof sections make up the overall roof for the Committal Shelter, each consisting of tongue-and-groove decking covered by standing seam metal roofing.
