Hi
I currently have a lintel that is D230mm x H160mm
It across a single garage.
It has cracked and needs to be replaced.
The builder has said he cannot get a lintel that is 230mm Deep.
He therefore proposes to bolt together TWO 115mm deep timber posts.
The lintel has nothing above it. However, it will have a too hold a roller garage door.
What do you guys think? Will Two 115m deep posts, bolted together, hold a roller garage door?
I'm under time pressure here, this builder has turned up and is racing through stuff.
Thanks
