I have an above ground back porch. The bases to the supports are not on level ground. How can I fix it without completing taking it down?


Thanks

    Is the floor solid--not rotted? then use bottle jacks to lift fepair loor off supports. Then set a new foundation and replace the supports. let down jack, move to next. And keep checking with a level.

    If it will stay together, then jacking it up and building a solid foundation sounds about right.
