French door in garden room

[Jupiter01]

The purpose of the lintel is to transfer the load to the ends. As long as the lintel supports the rafters and is positioned so that the ends are resting on a solid part of the wall that takes the load downwards (e.g. the post to which the door frame is attached) then it will be fine. It doesn't matter if it aligns with the front or back edge of the door, as long as it is supporting the ends of the rafters.

But since it’s a sloping flat roof, won’t the rafters only be touching the back of the lintel? If it’s pushed forward and their is a wooden fillet on the inside, I’m thinking that the load won’t be in the right place?

only be touching the back of the lintel?

birdsmouth or fillet! or if it's basically a flat roof, why not just keep the rafters level and use firrings?https://www.cwberry.com/47-x-47mm-timber-taper-pieces

It’s rafters without birds mouth. The front wall will be 5cm higher than the rest

You're overthinking it. Just let the rafters rest on the beam. They'll be fine...
