The one I plan on installing will have two posts, as it goes in an inside corner. It will be attached just under the soffit and come out 9 ft, being 12' wide.
Personally I would never have a wood anything outside. Pressure treated, Cedar, Teak, etc all look great the first year or two, then it becomes a constant headache to paint, stain, etc every two years. Aluminum or Vinyl is the only way to go, IMHO. Almost "Zero Maintenance" is very high on my list of almost anything I do now......especially in Florida. I don't mind spending more up front to be happy after for years......."Cry one when you buy it.....then be happy after" is my motto. I"ve found buying quality in the long run is almost always cost effective long term.
