<br />Example:
<br />Find Roof Area Needed; Area = 'A'; Post Spacing ='S'; Structure Projection = 'W':
<br />A = S x (W/2 + O.H.), If'S' = 7', W = 12', and O.H. = 2' then: 'Area' = 56 Sq. Ft
<br />F or a 10'-11" post and 120 m.p. h. wind load or 23 # 1 Sq. Ft. post choices are
<br />1) 2" x 3" Snap Section
<br />2) All post sizes listed below the 2" x 3" Snap Section
<br />
<br />Where job conditions dictate a post height of 10' in a 120 MPH wind zone, a 3" x 3" Roll Formed
<br />COULD NOT BE used because when it is more than 10' tall it can only support 39 SF of roof On the
<br />other hand. a 3" x 3" Fluted Post with a post height of 10'- 7" can support an area of 128 square feet of
<br />area Thus, deSign must satisfy both height and area requirements.
