I have a 1,330 sq. ft. roof w/ a 65 lbs per sq. ft. live load rating with ground load of 1,500 lbs per sq. ft. I need to know the linear amount of footer needed to support this structure. The structure is a pole barn style of snow cover for a mobile home that measures 14' by 78'. I need all the footer to be on the sides of the mobile and none in front or back.

An actual length of 47' approximately (at 1' wide). Very rough calculations not taking into account any wind, earthquake reactions etc. I'm assuming the 65/sf is a snow load.
