garage door posts

Postby gymark2002 » Thu Aug 13, 2009 4:51 pm

constructing a garage out of aerrated concrete blocks 210 x 440 x 100,
Is it advisable to incorporate two pillars for the garage posts to go onto, as I am concerned that the blocks single skin are not strong enough to take the weight of the garage doors.
thanks
