    It’s single skin wall. The blocks add stability. A structural engineer will be able to design something for you.

    You can put bifolds anywhere mate. It’s how you buy out any structural problems installing them.

    Most go along a gable end because it requires just 1 support steel and 2 standard pad supports.

    You can layer supporting RSJ’s but it obviously requires stronger pillars and bigger steels.

    Going along there will be fine. But it’ll need a steel above and potentially a bigger pad support by the looks of the photo.
