In Reply to: Lowering a roof posted by notjustair on January 02, 2016 at 19:18:18:
I like the idea of the beams (mentioned by 2 responders), but making sure the balance stays correct, and all is safe worries me. My recommendation is to use a high lift style jack to raise the longest existing pole about an inch. cut 6 inches off the bottom and lower it. go to the next pole and do the same. Repeat this until they are all pretty even and the roof is close to level. Now build the posts and supports for the roof as needed next to the existing posts (make sure they are braced to plumb and stable). the again lift and cut old posts till it lands on the new structure. Tie the old to the new with splice plates and there it is. Jim
