I really want to not have to use middle piers if possible, so I think I will go with the 12' span. Am I understanding you that I need to use 2X8 instead of 2x6 for the joists? Should these be pressure treated? I have seen many designs online, and I am hesitant to get started because I want to get it right the first time! So you would definitely recommend burying the 4x4s down to the frost line? I had seen some folks just put the 4x4's into the pyramid shaped piers that sit on top of the ground. Is this a bad idea? I didn't know if it would work doing it that way for such a large structure.
I am building a monitor style shed with the center section walls 6' tall, peaking to 8' in the center. The outer sections will be 4' tall at the outside to save on 2x4s, and join the center section at about 5'.
