width and height of the canopy will play large roles, as they will determine the loads on each column (both downward and lateral). But generally a 15' to 20' spacing should be a reasonable starting point. I've found that the lateral forces (i.e., wind) tend to control the design of these structures, so this spacing will keep your column sizes within reason.
