Default Garden Shed Roof Leaking

How about using something like a screw car jack - place a piece of
wood on top of the jack, wedge it against the cross beams and wind it
up until the roof is flat again. Hope that explanation made sense!

Mark,

Thanks for the advice, Sounds like I'll have to do it in stages, lifting and bracing each section as I go across. (either that or nick the jack from every car in the street!)

Once the roof is braced, does anyone have any advice on covering? Should I use felt? If so should I remove the current felt and re-felt or felt over the top of the current felt? I don't think tiling or shinglind would work as the slope is too shallow. Are there any other alternatives?

Sorry for so many questions, as I said in my original post I'm a bit of a DIY duffer!
