Well thought out, but I always think with jobs like that the roof is toast anyway.

I’d butt drop it and winch it back, causing much more damage, but it’s jeffed anyway?

The tin roof was bad but summer house roof was intact so not that easy. If I  would of butt dropped it would of not had to winch it as it would of flatted it all.

Garden structures are surprisingly strong. Years ago I was present when a pretty stout walnut was felled onto a pergola, expecting it to crush straight though. No, sir. A fkkk off heavy tree ended up sat on top of it. It didn't notice.

Necessitating a textbook system of step cuts to resolve the situation.

 

 

P.S. I know that's not a walnut. There was one close by. It was years ago. I've basically got Alzheimer's.

Don’t really see the point of this procedure? Just creating a problem. If the trees going that direction why not just remove pergola first. Far less effort and safer?

I don’t think the gazebo cut in run in the chinos was part of the initial plan!  😂
