Hello, I am currently working on building a double garage. Now I need to find out how high the lintel for my garage door needs to be.
Door size 2.125m x 5.000m (7 ft 0 in x 16 ft 5 in)
I would appreciate any help.

That means 212.5cm (7 ft) up to the start of the lintel plus 13.5cm (5¼ inch)... that should be enough. My roof will be a standard box construction with roofing felt.
