    Also to add, the wall as you can see in the photos in the first post, does have stiffener single pillars. So I'm guessing that helps...

    Not surely, no. The beam only weighs ~150kg, and quarter of the roof maybe another 450kg Are you saying if you and five mates climbed...

    Should I worry about the single skin wall collapsing outward or inward rather than being crushed? If the steel is sat on top of it on...

    To give current standing. Front is open for double garage door - this will I assume be the same steel as for the centre of the building...

    The beam I've been told to use is a 203 203 UC 46, based on the 5.8m span. That's quite heavy no? Surely the single skin wall could just...
