Hello
I am mounting 2 posts 6x6 in sadle brackets that are set in concrete. The 2 post are at the side of the patio furthest from the house. I want to avoid a support between the 2 posts. I want to run a 2x4 on either side of the top of each post back to the lam beam attached to the house. There will be a a sunshade attached at the top 4 corners. We don't want a support between the two posts because it will be blocking the view of the sunset. The railing attached to the posts will be 3ft tall. The attached pics should help.
My question is if this looks like the posts are well supported without a top brace between them.
