Hi All, just wondering if there are any engineer types on the list that could give me a rough idea on the type of weight I can put in our barn hay loft. The side we store hay on has 2x8 framing on 16" centers with a 12 foot span. Load is carried to the ground with (7) 6x6 posts on each side. I just want to make sure we don't overload it.  Thanks for any help that can be given.
