you may find you need more for the upper beam. I had 3 2x10's (12' span) for pulling a small block. a big block would need 4

Ok good advice ( As always !!! )

Will update -- 10 foot span on this design but who wants to be near a collapsing structure

I used 2 2x10's for my gantry and it hauled up 350 Mag no sweat, no bowing...

If you bolt the two boards together to form a single beam, you'll have less chance of it racking.
