Thanks for the help :)

I really would like to to a basic frame like the one in this picture but not sure of the best way to go... it looks like his might be 8 ft by 8 ft maybe post to post and then the main frame around the posts 2 by 6 materials? Think for a 10 foot span (10 by 6 post to post) that 2 by 6 would be safe or would I need 2 by 8 maybe?

Just want to be safe and I have little experience with structural engineering...

Thanks for any help!~
