Want to knock out two supports to open up veranda. 75*200*7000 mm beam with four fixed supports, two at the very ends, two equally spaced between these outer supports. I think the beam is a hardwood. The beam is not load bearing, only minor wind loads due to awning which are neglible due to property location. Q1. Will the existing beam suffice. (no visible bending.) Q2. Would RHS or I-Beam of similar dimension do the job Q.3 What would be the smallest section (RHS, I-Beam) that could perform to the existing arrangement?
