It hasn't snowed yet but it's coming. I built a new greenhouse from salvaged carport frames that I picked up. The rafter span was 5 feet just a bit too much for the snowload we get.
To add additional rafters I took 1 1/2 pvc t's made a jig to cut a 45 degree angle. Making sure the cut wasn't too loose an actual force fit for it to snap over the frame pipe. One at the side wall and one at the peak with pipe in between created another support.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
