Single storey extension – over a wide opening (3.5m) I'm using a steel beam (152UC with 300mm x 8mm plate) instead of a cavity lintel.
Should I try to bolt the beam down to the padstones/engineering bricks?
Or strap it down from the timber plate to be fixed along its top?
Cheers for any assistance.
