I’m in the process of building a lean-to on the back of the house and wondering if anyone has any alternative methods of securing the Eaves plate two two separate brick walls?
I would normally use wall straps, but I’d sooner not see the metal work, as I’ll be keeping the walls brick.
Each brick wall (Solid 9”) is 1200mm long with a 2500mm opening/gap.
My idea is to use a 3000mm x 65 x 100mm concrete Lintel to span the gap, bring the brickwork up to same height as lintel, then 100mm x 100mm wood on top of this.
Any ideas appreciated.
I will be glazing the Lean-to in 6mm toughened glass.
