HOW FAR CAN A FAUX WOOD BEAM SPAN WITHOUT NEEDING SUPPORT?
As a general rule of thumb, faux wood beams can span 1 ft in length for every 1 inch they are in height without needing to either be secured to the ceiling or to have an internal structural member for support. So, for example, a 6 inch high beam can span 6 feet while only being secured at its two ends.
