Smile Fixed roof sag finally...

After months of thinking of how to easilly/effectively fix the weak sagging roof, ended up fixing it by adding a reinforcement beam, side to side, inside the cabin, bolted to the existing fiberglass/wood beam. I used two, 1"x2" galvanized steel, gauge #14, ornamental steel hollow tube, sandwished together with the original beam with 3/8" bolts.
I lifted the roof with a jack, leveled it, placed supports under the roof, and drilled everything with the roof on its level position. Bolted, tightened, and Bingo !!!, now all straight and solid as it should be. Now we walk on the roof and feels great and secure.
Water now does not collect on the roof of course.
Total cost; about $30
Total time; about 3 hours

I will try to post pictures.
