Confused and bewilder, am I.

I'm planning on 1x2's every 16 to 18 inches or so across running from right to left. I too don't plan on standing on the top. I'm planning on embedding the cross braces into my 2 inch foam. That should give it plenty of strength to hold up some weight like light snow or ice. The roof will be also covered on the inside with lauan plywood. Not really so much for strength, although there is that advantage but for aesthetics.
Hope that helps.
