A:  Hi Marco. Thank you for your great question. Your project will take a bit of research on your part to make sure that your project will be successful. The 20 ton bottle jacks are strong enough to handle the job, but I think you will need at least 3 bottle jacks. I found a number of YouTube videos that some very good examples. The key to success is a gradual lifting of the out of level area. This may take a couple of weeks to accomplish since you will need to give the wood time to adjust to its new position. Balance and load sharing will be your most important aspect for a successful and safe resolution to your out of level project. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

A:  our bottle jacks can be used as a temporary solution but as far as a permanent solution we do not recommend it.
