Pre-fabricated, pre-tensioned concrete lintels spanning garage doors.
A lintel or header is a horizontal beam used in the construction of buildings. It usually supports the masonry above a window or door opening.
Lintels may be made of wood, stone, steel or reinforced or pre tensioned concrete.
For example, at Stonehenge, stone lintels top off some of the megaliths.
