Hello,

So I have these two heavy wood beams (photos below) in my steel workshop. They appear to be freestanding, except for a few nails driven into the cross beams of the shop to help stabilize them.

I am wondering if anyone has a good idea of how to brace them against the shop a bit more securely. I do not have any experience in construction of engineering, but I am thinking they need a bit more of a secure attachment to the shop walls. I was initially envisioning a metal brace from Home Depot I could easily bolt into place, or perhaps just a 2x4?
Any ideas / photos are appreciated.
Thanks!
Evan
