    We built a gabled roof over our back porch (roughly 20'x20') the peak of the gable is probably 18'. We actually used 2x8s as our joists.

      a #2 2x6 can span 9'6" before it needs to be braced.

        You would be fine using 2x4's to cover a walkway and to save some cash.

            You might try Google SketchUp. Free program with lots of video tutorials.
