Product Description
How measured and quoted:
- We measure and quote this design "post to post, outside face of posts". The rafters overhang the outside face of the posts by 14" and the top runners overhang the outside face of the posts by 9".
- Example: A 12x14 measures 12x14 to the outside face of the posts and has a roof span of 14'-4" x 15'-6", with the arched rafters being 14'-4" long from tip to tip and the top runners being 15'-6" long.
Number of posts: The largest size that has only four posts is a 16x16. Larger sizes require a middle post somewhere along the beam, unless you upgrade to thicker timbers.
