It's unknown, they won't give me much for details, just that the span is too long for the support provided. There are only like 4 boards holding up everything. I need to add more structure anyway. Just a pain I didn't really want to fiddle with yet.

I'll get a photo of it and post it up tomorrow maybe. It's held some pretty large snowfall for what little is up there.
