I too would like the pair of 20's with the covered lanai between them, but I'm not on island. For cutting costs, those tow trucks that just winch your car onto a tilted flatbed, can deliver a 20 footer. I would choose a nearby towing company and be flexible about deliver so he could tow a car one way, then return with one of your twenty foot containers. Roof trusses to span 8+20+8 will not be cheap. You would need a horizontal beam across each open end of the lanai if you turned the truss direction to only span 20'. I wonder which is cheaper, fewer long trusses or more short trusses plus two beams.
