I want to replace the awning over my deck. it is currently bolted to the house extending out 10 feet to a cross member with a 2 foot overhang. it is 2X6 24"oc. I want to go out to 16ft plus 2 ft overhang. Can I still use 2X6 (Doug fir)24' oc? It is a no snow load and no roofing other than tin sheets.

Are you going to crawl out on it?
Economics is much harder when you use real money.

It looks like your design will support 14pounds/sqft or a point load of 220 on any of the beams.
