enjoy bouncing my ideas off of other colleges. I do alot of

alot of things from experience. . Yes I could simply hire an

probably get a guarantee.,I can't afford to spend alot of money, but
am
willing to spend some.

If it was my problem I'd go see if the truss people could add an
independent support inside. You need to support only a point load in
the center so the design is pretty simple. They might even have
something left over from a cancelled order.
