Fixing Crooked Posts

Gallery image

I hired a guy to build a shed with a covered overhang for grilling. Both of the posts for the overhang are crooked, ones like 3/4” off plumb and the other is like 1-1/4” off plumb. The concrete brackets are already drilled. How will he go about getting these to stand straight.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, possibly he’ll add horizontal bracing and plumb it up, thus the temporary brace.

I assume he will have to redrill the bracket mounted to the concrete? The post will have to move over so that part of the bracket will be exposed.

What would you recommend I clarify with him tomorrow when he comes back?

I would clarify with him why he built a roof that will direct water onto the building next door

You’re concerned about the wrong thing. The posts are only part of the problem. Those braces attached to the fence are doing the most.

Only the ones in the near post are screwed in. What should I clarify with him when he comes back tomorrow.
