Hi everyone
I'm building a summerhouse and plans have recently changed meaning I've ran into a slight problem with head height for the bifold door.
So I'm trying to gain around 10cm and was playing around with lintel ideas for above the door. Currently I have 2 sticks of 45x120 placed supporting the roof which is again 45x120 with 18mm osb and epdm.
This may sound stupid I've been known for that lol but the opening is only 2m and I'd need to support 2 beams in that opening could I not just use some L shaped steel? Cut one part of the L into the beam and then nail underneath making essentially a flushed lintel?
Hope I've explained that lol
Cheers
