I have a 19 year-old roof with 2" x 10" roof rafters that are not of good quality wood; they were originally sistered on one side of some of the existing raftes with 2" x 10" boards but were apparently not fastened together properly (lag bolts) with not enough fasteners. The pitch of the roof is relatively shallow; it is not a steeply pitched roof.
What is the best way to insure a permanent fix considering the dimensions of the existing rafters and the amount of downward stress at the ridge?
