ok here's the deal iv'e got my plans all drawn up i'm building a 60 ft flat bar with 2ft of overhang on each side and i have the support posts spaced every 10ft that equals six support post total my question is, is that enough support posts? do i need more spaced closer toghether? also keep in mind my post will be sunk 4-5ft into the ground with side 2x4 support running the length of the slider. thanks!

if you change to 2x6's you can space 16'. and 2x8's can make the spacing 20'.
