What is the longest beam available for use in outdoor patio cover?
I want to create a non attached to home outdoor patio cover. It will be freestanding but basically covering my back porch/back side of my home. I had an old attached patio cover that I ripped out to make room for this new taller and slightly larger patio cover. Roof mount is not an option. What kind of beam (wood) would I use to create the longest possible span of wood to limit the amount of posts that I would need? Total span covered would need to be about 80'. This is in California, no snow load. I'm hoping at least a beam that can cover 25-30' before needing a post. submitted by /u/sokraftmatic [link] [comments]
