I have a Lolly column in the way of my pool table in my basement. It supports a pretty beefy steel I beam. The beam spans 24 feet and the column is dead center. 4 feet would get me plenty of clearance for my pool table. The house is a rancher. I plan to have a structural engineer/contractor review it, but I was wondering if anyone had any opinions. Is there a rule of thumb when it comes to maximum unsuported spans on I-Beams?
Also, Is it Lolly or Lally? I've seen and heard both...
