Google “rafter span table” or “rafter size chart” to get info on what dimension lumber you should be using for various parts of the project. It also depends on where you are located. If this structure will be expected to handle a snow load for example then it’s critical you build it to handle that. What do your local codes have to say about standards for similar structures in that regard?

Thanks for the tips. No snow here in coastal Texas usually. But I'll look into it.
