metal brackets for what?

Where all the corners meet.

24 large corner brackets for the 4 corners and center posts and about 50 smaller ones for all the braces etc.

Why not just screw through the wood with deck screws?

I am. Also using construction glue on the joints.

Im overbuilding this for peace of mind for myself and the others I live with.

 

[Sploke]

Fair enough.

Ok so here is the afternoon so far. It is NOT screwed together yet.

Its finally starting to take some shape.

Nice. Though you really didn't need the corner brackets.
