The weight of pressure-treated lumber, specifically a 2x6 board, typically ranges from about 2.5 to 3.5 pounds per linear foot, depending on moisture content and the specific treatment process used. For a standard 8-foot 2x6, this translates to approximately 20 to 28 pounds. The weight can vary slightly based on the type of wood and the level of treatment. Always check with the supplier for specific weights relevant to your project.

Are 3 2x6's as strong as a 6x6 post And if using 2x6s is it strong enough for a beam to span 12 feet Posts and beams of 2x6s to b staggered to create a tongue and groove type connection for pole barn?
Laminating 2x6's is a much better idea, it won't twist like a PT 6x6, it is less expensive, and you can use a combination of lumber. I built a 24x 40 ' barn a few years ago for a woodworking shop. I used 4 pieces of 2x6, this gave me a doubled space at the top to slide in laminated doubled 2x12's ... I used 0.40 PT lumber at the bottom and regular KD above, I laminated the bottom with staggered board lengths... I used a 12, 10 and two 8 footers, I needed an 18 ' post to have 4' in ground and 14' above. I also used stainless steel nails below ground and regular above, a nail gun sure was handy. After the posts were in, I drilled holes and used a 6 inch 3/8th carriage bolt to reinforce the connection. I overbuilt my barn, went 8' on center, not 12'. Also I used a doubled 2x14 glue lam 40' long for the ridge, that way the building was clear span and I didn't put up collar ties. I used a regular plywood roof and shingles. I used one inch rough cut shiplap pine boards for vertical sheathing, came out nice.
