Additional info, the area between the posts or the posts and the walls consist of a U shaped steel channel that is filled with rebar and concrete to form a lintel beam. This beam then provides support for the roof. The lintel bean is NOT continuous and ends at each post or wall connection. Therefore removal of a post would generally lead to failure of the beam in that area.
