Forgot to put garage I'm building is 28x32

The garage I had was 20x28 and used 2 2x12x14 for ridge beam bolted together end to end and 2x8 for rafters with a cable across half way to hold sides for support.Was wondering if I double 2x12 would it span 32ft.without center post.

Does anyone know the best online calculator for ridge beam sizes and rafter lengths?Trying to see if 2 2x12 will span 32ft with no center post. And what pitch a 16 ft rafter will go 14 ft. and leave about 1ft. overhang.Thanks.

Does anyone have any pics of stick build roof?What I mean is without using trusses.Can't raise trusses by myself. Thanking about using 2 6by6 inch center posts and put 2 2by12s across the top to mount 2by8s rafters to.It is a 28 ft wide span.

How long has anyone left osb out in the weather?Reason for asking been trying to get walls up and covered.Hurt back at work and been trying to do as much as can.Sort of slow.Have 5/8 osb ready to put up but may be a while before roof.Any input would be helpful.Thanks

I guess I put this in wrong thread.Sorry
