Hi all,
I'm building a garage out of 140mm wide concrete blocks (the hollow ones that you fill with concrete), but I'm struggling to find a lintel for over the garage door opening, which spans 2.7m. The widest I can find without going over 140mm is 110mm and I'm not sure if that will be OK to use - I should clarify, I'm not concerned with the span loadings, I'm really after the same width lintel as my blocks (140mm).
Does anyone know of anything suitable that is close to 140mm wide? I've spoken to a few lintel manufacturers but none of them seem to cater for the 140mm blocks that I'm building out of. Ideally I'd like a concrete lintel that I can just build straight on top of.
Thanks
