Another Small ROR Observatory

With my pier completed and the posts and footings in the ground I am ready to start on the building proper. The Obs will be 1800 x 2400, sitting on six 100 x100 square posts. Just trying to work out the bearer and joist sizing and have found a range of views on this from basic timber garden shed to others with better specs than most homes built to standard spans.

What is adequate? I am leaning towards 145x75 for the bearers. Joist will be in hangers.
