How do you support roof to install new bi-folds?

A funny picture relating to what your talking about . . .

This is my house being renovated (almost finished now), the floor and wall area that has been taken out below the roof line was an after thought. Turned out the wall there was not suitable to keep, and since that area is now the bathroom, we jack hammered up all the floor and did a new slab for all the new pipe work.

Anyway, this picture shows how they held the roof up! Seemed a bit :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: to me, but I'm no engineer! Maybe it's all you need?????

OK done and dusted. Started about 7.30am yesterday and had the wall framed and ready for the doors by about 4.00pm. Spent the rest of the afternoon/evening putting the door in. So basically a days work which was more than I expected but then I might be a tad slow (at work that is ).

Couple of quick photos. One shows the opened up wall and how I had supported it (thanks for all the help) and another with the doors in from the inside (sorry its very dark.)

Bin J - It looks like there is a beam (supported at far right) running under the roof in your photo but yeah, I would have been anxious under it.
