jon f mn, About 10 years ago my sister moved to Florida. The roof on her boat dock was too low, you banged your head on it. Her neighbor built boat lists, so he had all the cable and pulleys we needed. The roof of dock was supported by 6 posts. I rigged up a moveable pulley system, used 2x6, cut the 6x6 supports in half.

We lowered the roof 28 inch 6x6 supports and capped the posts with 8x8 treated.
Well roof is still standing. Others in her neighborhood tried raising their roofs using jacks and their roofs went for a swim in the lake.
