My garage door is too narrow for the gate, I want to reduce the gate by about 5-6 cm on each side to be able to attach the tracks properly. As it looks now, there are lightweight concrete blocks on each side with some plaster on. As you can see in the picture, there's a wooden beam there that serves the function of narrowing the door, but I want to cast instead of using the wooden beam. Note that I also need to reduce the height of the door, do I use the same reduction principle there?
What should I use to build as much as 5-6 centimeters?
1. Wooden blocks where you need to make fastenings, preferably with paper behind to prevent moisture. Then you line and insulate the gap precisely with a suitable sawn board ("window trim").
2. Build a frame just like around the door and attach it to the basement wall and then screw the garage door into the wooden frame.
You mention nothing about how I fix this with some kind of bruk or brick which is the only thing I want to know :/ Any other suggestions?
Should I, for example, build a mold and cast everything with coarse concrete? Should I use some kind of plaster and do it in several rounds? Should I use, for example, small small bricks and build it up and then plaster everything? Should I maybe do something above but in a different way?
If I understand you correctly, it involves 5-6 centimeters in total - then I would shape formwork and cast this with coarse concrete on one side. It might be good to drill in some anchors into the wall and tie standing rebar to this.
Another option if you don't want organic material around the door against the wall could be to get a suitable metal profile; the nearest metal workshop can help you with that.
It seems incredibly difficult, with no apparent benefit, to cast above. Why not just use trim inside and outside to cover this? Fill with insulation if it seems appropriate. If you need a fastening in the middle, attach a wooden block.
I see that you don't care about how it looks afterward as long as the job gets done, whereas I want it to look a certain way and therefore want it to only look like an opening in the wall without any trims, etc. Metal profiles, wood, etc., are immediately dismissed without even a thought given to them. The previous owners didn’t care at all about how it looked and just screwed up studs around the door to make it smaller. The studs were needed to mount the door.
Leby, wetroom panels don't sound like a bad idea to reduce the height. Do you just screw them in place or use mortar to press them into place? It sounds like very large blocks you can build with, and that’s exactly what I need
Yeah yeah, I see you don't care how it looks afterward as long as the job gets done. I, on the other hand, want it to look a certain way and want it to look just like an opening in the wall without any moldings, etc. Metal profiles, wood, etc. are definitely out without even a thought given to them. The previous owners didn't care at all how it looked and just screwed up frames around the door to make it smaller. The frames were needed to mount the door.

Why ask for help then if you already know how you want it?
We won't waste our time giving advice if it isn't appreciated...
I have screwed the wet room boards, they come in several thicknesses, they don't fit on the sides, too fragile to attach unless you put a stud inside which you then cover with the board and then plaster. If you do it with a hidden wooden stud, it will probably work with a little paper behind, so it looks like you intended, I assume you want a continuation of the plaster.

Wood is not an option for TS so that suggestion won't work either...
Wood is out of the question for TS, so that suggestion probably won't work either...
I assume ts means that he wants a smooth return all the way to the casing. It feels like the opposition was mainly against putting up 10 cm wide casings.
I assume the OP means that he wants a plastered reveal all the way to the trim. It seems like the resistance was mostly against putting up 10cm wide trims.
Exactly Fjojtmehmet, it's the design I care about, not how to get there as long as it works.
I have looked at another forum and they suggest I can build with bricks and then simply plaster, that seems to be the easiest way. The rails that need to be attached later are just guide rails, never any direct load.
