Roof Loading

(OP)
I am in the process of building a garage 9M wide by 6M long.
Across the 9M width in the middle is a steel 203mm x 203mm 86KG. Timbers 150mm x 50mm x 6M are placed at 90° to the steel, at 600mm C/C. On the outer walls are 100mm x 75mm wall plates. Can anyone give me an indication as to the maximum load I can place on this structure. I would like if I can to fit an insulated roofing material. If required I could reduce the 600mm C/C to 400mm C/C. What effect would this have on increased loading.

Thanks in advance
