Hi
I have bought a 299*19*19 beam that will be above the garage door. It will be at 210 on the underside. Is it enough with one layer of Lecablock on top for strength, or do I need to make two? The extension has four roof trusses, two of which will rest on the beam. Regular gable roof with a span of 6.60 meters at an angle of about 20 degrees. Kronoberg County
What do you think?
Ps. Will be doing the final layers this weekend, really want to know

DsBuying your question, had the same thought myself. I think the beam should be able to take the load from the truss directly, but the argument was that more layers on top provide a more distributed load than a point load and would therefore be better. The beam is a properly reinforced 299cm single-piece beam. Do you mean that it can take point load directly, in that case, everything is fine.
Grateful for an answer.
