Is it a lintel with brick, a timber beam or what? You obviously have your slab across the bottom and bricks up both sides it's a pretty simple conversion. Hi Chippy, Thanks for your thoughts. Attached here is the alfresco outdoor and the side I wanted to install the brick wall. There is a metal beam on top (or between) of the two brick piers Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My (budget) concern is if I will do (a) a single brick wall veneer 1 meter height and 3.25 metre width\length and then install a stud\timber frame for the bifold window. Or (b), double brick wall, same length and height, on top of it is the stud\timber for the bifold window. I do have about 2 pallets of extra bricks (left over for my building constructions).

I'd probably frame up the inside and line it with villaboard or blue board after any rough in is completed. Fix off brick ties to the frame and brick up the external. If you really want to do a good job get the brick layer to rod the joints back into the existing brick work. Basically build your wall to form up your opening. The window company will do a site measure. Get them to install a sill tray on the bottom to prevent water ingress under the window. The new window will sit on that and the sides and head will be supported by aluminium trims that are fixed mechanically and with adhesive to the side walls and lintel. A simple 5 panel bifold that stacks at one end will give you sashes around 650 each. It's a pretty simple job, no need to overthink it. Just another question, what are the bits sticking up near your fence? It almost looks like you allowed provision for water, drain and electrical out there.

You'll just need to move the services over before you start so you can get them roughed in after you frame up.
