Pergola roof joists

[sxturbo]

Planning my pergola, and I'm wondering if I can get away with using 6x2 for the roof joists.

The will be attached to a beam on the wall of the house and span 3.2 meters at 600mm centers so I can install plastic roof glazing sheets.

To me, yes that would be fine (and have done similar), but I'm not an engineer

Cheers, I assumed it would be as they aren't load bearing like they would be if they were installed in a house
