single garage with a standard width garage door, 9 inch wall. Inner skin will be supporting the (duo) pitched roof wallplate. Eave Can start directly above door. Any suggestions on best lintel option? Not built it yet so can choose whichever.

Eaves lintel (non cavity) if such a thing exists
Big concrete lintel inner skin, nothing outer skin
RSJ?
Span will be 2.1m ish

7x4s?! Surely I’ve got a nice lightweight lintel option if I’m not running for strongest man of the year?

Lol. No 7x2's I meant :oops:

And then nail a 4x1 or 4x2 or something as a plate.

Or 8x4's if that gets up to the correct height, and no plate.
