How to use post for roof.
Roof jacks make it easier to set roofing and increase safety for you by providing stable surface.
Install another bracket in this position.
Then attach the tool into rafter by driving couple of 16d nails.
Stand a post up in the bracket and hold a level on its side.
For a freestanding roof begin with the corners and then erect all of the intermediate posts.
Continue installing porch roof supports.
Once both of the brackets are secured set a post into them.
Ideally you should find the rafter first underneath the sheathing locate by feeling the nails.
The beams support the roof rafters or joists which in turn hold the roofing material.
Cut two 2 by 4 boards with a circular saw that are 2 inches shorter.
This post and beam design is secured with a post cap.
Measuring posts for a freestanding roof differs in only one respect from measuring for a house attached roof with the attached roof you ve already defined the roof height at the ledger line.
Draw a line around the column about 2 inches above the rotted area and install a temporary brace under the deck porch or roof.

Here s what to do.
Measure the distance between the top of the jack and the roof.
Once it is plumb mark the position on the porch roof.
