I have a valley 7 footer that I can't level, it is dead perfect in the center but high at both ends? I have heard this is common with some valley's so there must be something to do, any help. Thanks Sam Boychuk

there's 3 problems that contribute to not being able to level a valley. 1. Lack of center support 2. Thin Slate 3. undersized slate. When I purchase any valley tables I will level it first. If the table has center sag, I know there's little I can do, this, along with other factors, defines whether I can sell it for $400 or $1200.

you can try shimming the center support, there's only so high you can shim before the rail bolts won't line up.
 
thanks

great answers. I am going to clean the bottom of the slate real good and try adding 1 extra strip of cloth to the center beam, I'll let you know how I make-out.
