Saggy Loft

After I put some more lumber up in the loft in the equipment barn I noticed that the deck joists were sagging a little. It is quite a bit of weight so I'll need to beef them up some.

It's a good place to store lumber. There is new and salvaged pieces up there.

You can see the dip in the middle.

It isn't surprising. They are just 2x4s with 24" spacing.

I'll probably add some extra 2x4s between the existing ones. Maybe laminate some plywood to them to stiffen them up.

The front beam is the one Bill and I improved a few years back.

The light was cooperating for pictures.
