Sagging and leaking conservatory roof?

If anyone is on my local Facebook page hello, because I just posted on there too.

Has anyone got experience of a sagging conservatory roof?

does it HAVE to be replaced? I'm not sure how we would afford that.

At the risk of sounding silly, what's failing such that it's sagging? We replaced our (glass) conservatory roof as it was leaking, but kept the original roof beams - they are solid wood though, not sure what yours are?

perhaps dipping or bowing is a better description.

basically DH can push the whole thing up and the weight of water when it rains makes it dip
and creates a puddle and leaking.

So the very end bit ends up with a gap which is were the water comes through

We don't have the money for a fancy roof.

I was thinking about putting a stick in the middle to keep it up.

But seriously, I don't know what to do.

Yes probably if you could pin point one heavy rainstorm that caused it. Don’t say it’s just got slowly worse over years

It was one heavy rain storm that did it, it was fine before rhat.

We just need to figure out which one it bloody was!

Thank you!!
