We offer 4x4 straight posts or laminated posts and we can upgrade to optional 6x6 posts if you like. Our 2x8 corner braces are decorative but also a structural requirement as well. The facia is 2x6 and the rafters are double 2x6 on all kits. The underneath standard is 1x3 roof lathe for Cedar shingles and a Tongue & Groove underlay for Asphalt & Slate shingles as required per roofing codes.
