It's metal lintal
Out of curiosity I have a section of the roof which is not supported by any masonary. It will be supported by upvc. I have been told upvc Windows have rods to support the roof. But how would I "strap" it.

Only if structural supports were requested at the time of manufacture
Ok. What I noticed that the garage(which is double skin no cavity. The lintal only covers the first skin. Can I put wall plate on outside skin?
Eh?
Why is there a lintel above the garage door? If it is to support an amount of masonry - why then is there support for only one leaf? What's supporting the 'other' leaf?
The wall plate can go on the outer leaf, yes. However, this does make it trickier to strap down. How will this outer leaf wall plate position tally-up with the rest of the proposed roof?
