I have a 140 x 70 treated pine beam (3600 long) that I want to use as a beam in a new pergola.
It has a fairly significant bow across the full length.
Will wetting (presumably on outside of curve) and forcing the beam to bow in the opposite direction for a couple of weeks have any lasting effect on straightening?
I guess it will be possible to force the beam into a straight profile as the rafters are secured but wonder if some other straightening should be attempted first?
Any advice would be appreciated.
