Lintel required ?

[Reno RSS Feed]

Hi.. I am doing in underneath our house and will be framing just inside the existing telegraph pole stumps. So the walls will be taking no load from the house above at all. Now one of these walls will have a 3 panel stacking sliding door in the wall (3138mm x 2100mm) and I was wondering if a lintel is really required at all other than like a normal door frame setup. I assume since the door comes in its own frame that it just needs something to screw to and bolted to the concrete.
slab.

Is this the right path ? I dont need a steel lintel or anything do I ?

Thanks
