There are numerous sized beams. The lower beams are 6x12 cedar. The ridge beam is a 4x12 parallam, veneered with cedar sheathing for an overall appearance of a 6x14. Before building such an arbor, make sure that you consult with a structural engineer, as different wood types have different structural span tolerances. Also, the connections between the beams are very important.
