Below is a chart of general Roof Snow/Live Load (in pounds) for the various carport widths & heights. Please note this is a general guideline, and that additional live load capacity can be achieved through various means such as on-center post spacing (Rontimco's kits are 4.5' on center), additional anchoring support (increases wind load only), or heavier gauge sheet metal.

If wet stamped engineering is needed to submit to your local building department, it is available at a cost of $350 for 3 sets of drawings & calculations.
