Could you tell me the size of the columns along with the width apart the columns are from side to other side. Also, the size of the beam above along with the dimensions of the truss. Thank you!

The columns are 8" square PolyClassic columns. It has been a while since this project was designed and built but I am pretty sure that the beam was made up of 2x12's and clad with no-rot material.
