I need my deck fixed. It was put together with lag bolts that were too short and came apart on one side. Take a look or show it to someone and let me know what you think. I know it's a long shot but figured I'd rather trust someone you guys know than someone from nowhere!

After I jacked it back up!

I can ghetto that back togeather, but if it pulled out like that you really need to replace the post or the board(depending where the weak spot was)

I think you might want to fix/ put in some real braces. The ones held up by the 2x4's would scare me enough to not even walk on the deck.

I just don't have the right tools or I could probably do it myself...with your help of course! :biggrin:

The week spot was the dumbasses that built it had lag bolts 1 inch deep in the 6x6 posts!

They're temporary braces. They work fine but I don't plan on walking on it until it's fixed! :biglaugh:

Selling the house in less than 2 years so not an option...this thing would be really expensive!
