pls i need your advice. is there a need for me to add pillar to both side? or i should just leave it as seen in picture.
Hajj Mustapha and others... i need ur candid advice.

Even though, they should have put pillars there before the arc, but I am sure this is an after-thought.
You can still put pillars by the side because it's not going to cost much and your mind will be at rest.
I have seen some that did not also have a pillar and probably a dwarf pillar will suffice, and they still stand good.

Note: You are not alone... I have the same after thought thing done like that in the past... (see pic below)

Sorry about the above... I guess it was not done properly enough.

For roof King Post, if it is a bungalow some people use between 11-12ft.
But for Duplex some people uses between 12-16ft and those who want higher goes up to 20ft.
It all depends on how you want your house to stand out. But personally I like those range above.
