Big BBQ shelter - am I doing it right?

[NGEddie]

I'm building what you may call a BBQ shelter - it's 3mx2.6m and is essentially a roof held up by 4 poles.
I want to check with someone if I'm doing it right, will it stand up to storm and snow?

It has a mono-pitched roof with 10 degree slope running from 2m up to 2.5 meters. I'd like a greater slope, but can't within UK permitted development and I need to be able to stand up under it.
Picture attached showing what I'm planning to do.

Any advice or gotchas I need to be aware of?
There will be a roof on top that I didn't draw on the below picture - probably ply and felt.

Looking at this picture after posting it - would angled braces where the poles meet the beams allow the beams to go down to 50x150mm?

Defiantly add some bracing, either timber or metal strapping, it adds a lot of strength.

If you put the posts deeper in the ground it makes it a lot stronger - probably doesn't actually need it though

I've built bigger structures using smaller sized timber, and they're still standing. Currently almost finished a patio/bbq roof which is 8.5m x 3m.


I like using metal roofing (galvanized corrugated or plastic coated box profile), it's easy to work with, light, and lasts a lifetime.
You can add rooflights too.

Thanks, that's reassuring.

I hadn't really considered options for the roof...

This sounds like it would be easier than felt. Can you recommend a supplier?

I tried looking it up, I can see some options. Would like it to have edging strips because the edge profile looks very industrial. Interested in any options?

Thanks.

We used this company on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/omegabuild?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

They will cut them to length and sell you a kit to fit.

We used bronze as clear and white made it look too much like a car port. Bronze allows the light through but takes the harshness away.
