Front verandah renovation

Front verandah renovation

Hi all, Im planning on removing the existing front verandah as its old and has some rotting. We also dont like the curved roofing, which makes the house look small. So instead going for a flat roof, opening out the front of the house which will be rendered soon afterwards, along with a fresh paint on the roof as well.

The existing structure is 10.5m long x 1.4m wide (width is from the facia rather than the brick wall), has 3 posts as seen on the photo. The middle post is actually not aligned with the garage door. 

My question: instead of the middle 2 posts, can i have one post in the middle at the 5m mark, while using 112x112mm posts for the the corner and the centre. Currently have 185x42mm beams, and was wondering if thats sufficient support or should i go with th 280x42mm.

 

Thanks in advance.
