Re: main balancing beam
Are both beams steel? In Michael's enlarged photo it looks like the top one is wood. Structurally it looks fine, but I can't tell what the connections between the post/beam/beam are like. Is there something there that will keep the top beam (and bottom for that matter) from twisting, like the 45 degree brace in the 2nd photo?
