Re: Jack?
I dont have any photos of it but its 8' high and 29'long by 5' wide with 4 8' 4x4 posts holding it up and the posts are being changed to 6x6 treated so i need to support the deck untill the posts are changed.
Thanks. |

Bottle Jack - 10 or 20 ton with a 4x4 spanning the difference (not that it is that heavy)
If you are waiting for concrete to set - on both sides place a temp 4x4 to hold it up & replace every other post, rinse & repeat |

Re: Jack?
You could just bang some 2x4 under the floor boards with a top & bottom plate and it will pop rite up . I would just lift it a inch or so .We lift 2 story houses like that all the time. a deck is lite .
