Three Foot Johnson 2,503 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The tie beams or bottom truss chords will keep the walls from spreading, and the peak itself, sloppy in appearance as it is, appears to have a post under it. Wet it down and pour a quart of Gorilla Glue over it - it'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
