I have a stand alone double garage of brick and block solid wall construction, it has two sets of side opening timber doors (rotting!) with a single catnic?? beam spanning both doors with a total length of approx. 5460mm including bearing of approx. 230mm each side. There is currently a brick built T shaped post in the middle separating the doors.
I would like to remove the central post and put in a full width roller door, 5000mm.
My questions are; does the central pillar support the lintel? If I remove it would this lintel support the garage - remaining wall above lintel 340mm plus tile roof.
Many thanks
