Opening in exterior wall under rafter

[Sir Duke]

We are going to move the entrance to the house, and the entrance door will then end up right under a rafter. As far as I know, there is no frame construction in the outer wall, but vertical boards. Do we need to reinforce in some way, and if so, how? I understand that it's difficult to answer exactly, but I'm curious about the principle. Thanks in advance!

No, the trusses are probably self-supporting.

You probably need a beam in the wall above the doorway.

 

[Sir Duke]

Ok! All the way up to the ceiling or? How wide? How is it connected to the existing frame?
