Well I am looking for some advice on reinforcing a storage area that was built by the previous owner of the home in the garage. It appears that some car was taken in attaching the wood using joists and bolts to the rear wall. However, it seems that the care stopped there and the front of the structure was held in place by nails with no joists which are starting to separate and three 4x4 beams which appear to be bowing from the weight.
I was considering reinforcing it bi installing joist on the front side and reinforcing with additional 4x4 beams in the rear and front of the structure. But not sure if I should go the pressure treated wood route or what type of wood would be best for this application. Any thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated.
