I have the actual house plans for our Gardenia, you cannot remove these posts, they are LOAD BEARING. I doubt you could replace with much smaller columns, but you would need to have an architectural engineer review and draw up plans for this change. IMHO, not worth it, the existing openings are wide enough to put in 3 pane stacking sliders, and I have seen this done.
