well, referring to the original post
it says there 6x6 it never mentions 8' long. Where did the 8' long come in?
Again, I'm not bashing any book, I'm just stating the facts. Until you know the what species? grade? nominal or full size? what design loads? and the exact span you can't make blanket statements that it's ok. Read Paul's post and you'll see that 12' long they fail....
