Default Wall lean

Hello All,

We have a 30' yurt that has gradually developed a 10 degree lean on the downwind side.

There is a loft that anchors the upwind side, so the Yurt is not really in danger of immediately blowing down, but we would like to fix the lean before it gets worse.

One theory is that the

tension cable

has stretched due to numerous wind storms, and the slack worked its way to the downwind side.

Is there a recommended approach to fixing this? I was contemplating removing the roof, pulling the wall into plumb with a strap and winch attached to the loft, tightening the cable a few inches, and then rebuilding the roof. Would like an easier approach. Any comments are appreciated, thanks!

Andrew
