Title of the message:
Maximum Span for Shed, without supporting posts??

Text of the message:
I am neither a builder or carpenter.    I saw a shed today at Home Depot,
that measured 16 x  16.  It had a loft second story to it for additional
storage.
There are no internal supporting posts.   The joists were 2 x 10, and
spanned the full 16 ft  width of the shed.
I was wondering if  a person could use 2 x 12s, and span up to 24 feet
without supporting posts?  I doubt it.  Yet, I walked up into the loft 2nd
level and jumped on the floor  (I weigh 200 lbs), and the floor felt
"pretty" solid.  Not rock solid , of course.   Of course, going to 24 feet
would be 8 more feet of span, and could make a big difference
Bottom line, how far can you span with 2 x  10's, and how far with  2 x
12's  ?   By the way, these joists were 12 inches apart.
Thanks for any comments !!
