Take down exterior wall on garage

[Smackbonk]

Hello!

I have an old shed (about 7x8 m in size) that will eventually be renovated... but first, I was thinking of taking down a large part of the outer wall and installing two large garage doors as I need the space.

The wall, which is about 7 meters wide, should accommodate two garage doors that are 2.5 m wide...

My idea is to install a steel beam with a post in the middle. The space between the stone wall and the roof trusses is 12 cm... is that enough to fit a beam that can support the weight? What type of beam should I use in that case?

Attaching a couple of pictures....


Kind regards,

Peter

Snow zone, roof pitch, municipality?

Will it be insulated in the future?

Karlskrona, yes it may potentially be insulated later on! Attaching a picture so you can see the roof slope better...

HEA 120 is sufficient without any problem even with insulation and ceiling.

Thank you!

Now I'm being a bit difficult, would HEA 100 have sufficed as well? It would have simplified the work considerably...

Yes, it does.
