thanks for the reply.....yes, the roof is off......but the existing ribs are fashioned as a mortise and tenon as opposed what you described. i think spreading the main rails enough to get the rib in would be a risky thing to do not knowing what effect it may result in......the alternative as far as i can see is to cut a notch on the top part of the main rail so that the new rib will drop in as you have described. ???
