What would be required for a beam to have a span of 6.5 meters without a mid-support on a patio roof?
The roof I am considering will be 6.5 meters x 3 meters. A beam at the back by the facade with only two pillars and at the front a beam with three supports.

So the back edge "by the facade," and not "in the facade"?
If you attach the roof to the house in some way, then it becomes a non-problem (if possible, that is)
no clear answers from me then, but fun to know

Moelven's calculator for glulam beams suggests either 90x450 (deflection 12 mm, beam weight 124 kg) or 115x405 (deflection 13 mm, beam weight 142 kg).

Those are some real beams.
12mm, that is if there is 200 kg/m2 of snow
I think I need to rethink.
There will be three posts at the back.
I don't dare to attach the terrace roof to the facade. I previously made a six-meter beam replacement right where the terrace roof will be built.
