You will need to know your local building department, load (lb./sq.ft.) and wind requirements (mph.)
Your city building department is where building permits are issued from. You may or may not need an actual permit for your installation. This responsibility rests with the homeowner. It is our strong recommendation that you acquire your permit prior to purchase. We can help with that! However, panel thickness, beam placements, beam size, distance between posts out front… all are a function of the load (snow & wind) that your cover will be subject to. Though you may not require a permit, we ask that you acquire the load requirements for your area, so that we can supply you with the ‘correct’ thickness and configuration of materials!
This table describes how far a panel can span away from the wall out to the beam & posts assembly
How to read the table: For example… a 3″ thick roof panel will span 12’7″ away from the wall under a 20 lb. loading
