For a 10'.11" post and 120 m.p.h. wind load or 23 # 1 Sq. Ft. post choices are: ;1. 1) 2" x 3" x 0.050" Hollow Extrusion 2) All post sizes listed below the 2" x 3" x 0.044" Hollow Section Note: Where job conditions dictate a post height of 1 0' in a 120 MPH wind zone, a 3" x 3" Roll Formed COULD NOT BE used because when it is more than 10' tall it can only support 39 SF of roof On the other hand, a 3" x 3" Fluted Post with a post height of 10'. 7" can support an area of 128 square feet of area. Thus, design must satisfy both height and area requirements. Lawrence E. Bennett, P.E. CIVIL ENGINEER - DEVELOPMENT CONSUL TANT P.O.
