I have 10” peeled logs(10 to 14 ft long) that are used to support my decking/roof. They are starting to split in several places, some are very deep and long. Is there a preferred method to stop this and a way to re-enforce the poles?
this happens all of the time, but you may want to have a structural engineer look at it just for piece of mind. Most lumber yards and steel yards have one on staff.
