: You run into a span limit with 2 x 10s of about 16 ft. The added 2 x 10s beside them only make the weight it can handle a little higher, does nothing for the span.
: 1) you can spike a couple 2 x 12s which have a span limit of 18 feet.
: 2) You can install a steel I beam which will probably solve your problems.
