I have a shed with a corrugated tin roof. simple 2x4 construction to hold up the tin.
The ridge board is a 2x6 held up by 4x4 posts 8 ft on center to give me 16 ft. 4x4 each end, one in the middle. If I add one more 2x6 to the ridge board and bolt it together, can I remove the center 4x4 This will give me a 16 ft span. Will I have enough support to hold up the tin roof? Thanks for any engineering help.
