Man there is no way i would work under that roof with that kind of damage. If one has pulled out like that then the whole place is suspect to coming apart at any second.

Be sure to susport it on all sides with heavy ,I mean heavy props. set in the ground good and secured to each main post. then you can take the roof off after that you should be able to work on it safely.
