I don't suppose you would want to replace the wood staves? Would there be any advantage to turning the staves upside down and trimming what would then be the top?

The top of the staves are cut at an angle to fit the roof. The roof is self-supporting and just sits on top of the barrel and held down with straps from the roof to the sides of the barrel. I don't want to turn them upside down because there is a 12" hole in one side for the dryer vent tube, and I have to use all the staves so that it fits the circumference of the roof. I'm thinking I'll leave it alone and put a circle of wood around the inside bottom, an apron over and around the bottom. Presently, it does have lead flashing around the bottom crack next to the concrete pad, but its about gone and is badly deteriorated .
