    Default Opps Is it load bearing

    Would an outer skillion single brick wall be load bearing. It has about 3 rows of bricks above a door and window , cuz I want to knock it out and put aluminium sliding glass doors in approx 2.4 mtr wide.

    Maybe yes, maybe no.
    The roof is going to be supported on one of the walls. Can you do a sketch of what you have and where you want to install the new door.

    If you have something like what I've drawn then yes, that wall where your door is going will be supporting the roof.
    You'll need to carry that roof load across the new opening by using a steel angle and redoing the brickwork above the door or using a timber beam. Timber would probably look a bit bodgey bros though so redoing the brickwork would give the best appearance.
