In keeping with what Rob said... I built a permitted standalone roof, about 28X30, 3:12 pitch. it is supported by 9 pipes, 4 inch. they are 10 ft exposed, 5 ft in ground in 12 inches concrete, in a 3X3 array, 11 ft apart. They support 3 beams (4X10 X24') on which are 5 beams (4X10X24') on braced 4x4 posts to form the pitch. The roof is 2.5 inch panel from Castleblock. Don't remember the costs, but still remember the fun, especially the holes - both the digging and the filling
