I'm going to rebuild a patio cover that my contractor used the cheapest materials possible on. It passed inspection but looked cheap and didn't hold up. I'm planning on replacing the 2x6 beams with 4x6. They have a 10 foot span from header to outside frame. My question is: do the new beams have to have the same spacing or can they be placed farther apart? Is there an online calculator to determine the proper spacing?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
