I am by no means a carpenter!!!! I started this project on the 4th, between gathering all of the material needed and the random storms that would roll in I feel like I got a lot done.

My question is... The 2x6 span I have coming off has some left/right wobble to it. I know I can cut it down some, but will that help? Can I bolt another 2x6 to the backside of it and expect the swaying to stop? I probably should have used a 4x4, 94% of this I did on my own.

Thanks @link81

I got some more work. Added a 2x6 behind the original! It’s a lot more sturdy! Next up is the piece from the back to front if I see more sway!
