Installing rear access in garage

[butters]

Hey all,

I'm looking at putting a roller door in my garage for rear access, just wondering if anyone has been through this process. I'm assuming I'll need a structural engineer to check it over if anyone is or has any good contacts?

Any info would be greatly appreciated,
cheers

PM magic1 for engineer stuff

How did you go with this?
Looking at getting a roller door put on mine that is already open so probably won't need an engineer.
Who did you end up using?

Just cut a hole, put in a lintel and whack in a roller door. Job done. Too small to worry about the council being involved.

I would do this but kind of want the roller door recessed inside my roof to keep the clearance height I have now.

Cut hole in wall and ceiling. Recess door :)

Have ordered beam (thanks to magic1's advice, much appreciated)
Away at work at the moment, so beam should arrive when i'm back (got it from midalia steel)
Called council, they weren't bothered about it. Will install beam and cut hole hopefully this break, will post up pics when done.

If ya haven't get it galvernised dipped. Fuck painting. Unless of course contrary to Magics advice. .. :)

aaaaaaaaaand midalia calls to tell me it's ready to pick up, thought I'd check it's galvanised as the chick sounded clueless when i ordered it. Nope not galvanised we don't do it in that size. fuck.
Anyone know where i can get it galvanised or know someone?

I use western galvernise in o'connor otherwise there is a cheap place on hope valley rd in hope valley ( near Kwinana).

Bit of an update, managed to get this done over the weekend. Managed to pick up a roller door and motor off gumtree for $250! Few pics of the process.

Good effort.
