The roof structure of the carport and/or lean-to may be too light . The beams may be sagging, preventing optimal drainage from the roof. There is therefore a risk that the sagging of the roof surface will continue. A possible long-term solution could be to reinforce the existing beams or install a support beam . In either case, we recommend consulting a qualified contractor who can advise you on this.

Please note: Wood rot or defects may be present in the structural or non-structural woodwork of the carport and/or canopy. Carefully inspect the woodwork, especially the joints, corners, and joints.
