steel lintel bolted to structure?
(OP)
Having double garage doors converted to one wide door on a house with brick veneer. Mason wants to use 1/2 inch thick angle lag-bolted to structure for new 16' wide lintel. Is there a problem with bolting the lintel to the wood structure of the house?






RE: steel lintel bolted to structure?
If the garage doors have beaqms over them and they are discontinuos at the existing center support column, then a new beam needs to be installed to soan the full 16 feet.
If not and the existing beam is continuous over the existing column, it needs to be checked for the 16 foot span, If it does not work, it needs to either be replaced or stiffened.
I would STRONGLY suggest that you hire a local structural engineer here,

Move your keyboard up a little bit (extra "q"), and the left about .5" so that "o's" become "p's" and you start typing in English again.
