Conservatory roof advice

Can you hang top hung bi - fold doors off conservatory roof frame?

Not the best idea, how wide are they and what make roof is it ? Some systems can be strengthened for this problem

I thought so. I will upload a picture of what we have so far. If you or anyone can advise on our best way forward with regard a roof would be much appreciated.

We have canned the idea of concrete roof (marleys) and also binned the bi folds in favour of patio doors.

We have 2 lintels on the build at present but these can be easily taken off. We now want to fit a lantern style conservatory roof to this build..... all input welcome..... my thoughts are remove lintels and place lantern roof straight on to outer course of brick. However spans are 3.2m and 3m - too wide for cony roof with no lintels? or do they support themselves? Thanks in advance. See roof in my albums for pics....

not the cheapest or easiest but this sort of roof would probably suit you best with least problems
