![]() I'll be building a carport in the near future. I would like to make my own frame to support the roofing panels. The span between the posts will be 20 feet. I'm thinking that some 2x4x.120 rectangle tube should be strong enough for the horizontal, but what I need to know is will the tube sag under it's own weight . Has anybody had any experience with this kind of framework before, or is there some place you could direct me to find some answers? Many Thanks, Chuck in Phoenix |
