I recently had a screened in porch added to my home (14' x 18'). A roof was added...attached to the main roof but supported by 4 P/T 6X6 posts attached by saddle brackets to poured concrete in each corner.
The 2 posts on the one side have bowed severely by 1" to 1.5" from top to bottom (bowing towards the outside).
I am concerned about the structural integrity since they are both bowed. Is this something to worry about, other than the fact that it looks like crap? The builder said he will be back to fix it but wasn't sure how he was going to do it yet without having to rip the whole thing apart. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
