I would think you would be fine.
I used 4x12's on mine which was about 15x15 or 16x16 - its been about 8 yrs and I sold that house 3 years ago. 6x6 would probably bow. I am assuming your using pine. A lot of these are designed up north where they have access to harder woods.

Thanks. I am including multiple sizes on my lumber quotes. I found some larger, gable roof style, pavilion plans and they were using 4x10s. I don't want to under-engineer it, but I do have to devise a way to lift this heavy stuff as well. That was part of the appeal of maybe 2x's sandwiched. Doesn't look nearly as good though.
