Jenga! - the expensive version!

Hi - currently building a sunlounger / conservatory as part of a larger extension

My issue is over the strength of a wall - the top right hand corner in the plan view



See attachement



On top of the inner leaf sits a box sectional steel beam which supports the roof.



Assuming I've done my calulations correctly the steel will take the roof, both in span and canterleaver!



But will this pillar take 1/4 of the roof?



Does anyone have any calculations, ideas, information,experience, gut feelings, on how strong this needs to be?



Best regards



Cameron
