I will be replacing 2 swing gates with a roll-up door in my garage. The person who originally built the garage left photo documentation of how it was built. The door opening will be enlarged along the red lines, but somewhat straighter.
Do I need to reinforce the existing construction in any way beyond the new door frame?

I think the wall looks strange and probably doesn't support anything. There should have been a W truss at the end as well, like further in. It is self-supporting, and you can basically remove the entire wall. The roof will have less to hang on as you remove more, given how it's currently built.

The outermost chair probably doesn't have a W compartment (?) so it will need support...
