I'm currently underway building a pergola against our home, we're based in Germany and the house was built 3 years ago to the highest insulation standard possible (KW55). This build standard means a massive amout of insulation and unfortunately a massive unforseen block of insulation above the standard German window roll shutter housing.The wall where i need to glue in bolts for the pergola support is for the most part above 2 doors, this presents the issue that all the outer bolts will go into the following wall materials (in this order):3cm outer render7cm hard insulation4cm of the door lintel, hard concreteOf 13 support bolts only the center 5 go into solid wall, the rest are equally over the 2 doors. Here's a picture of one side, this is a mirror of the other door.​https://ift.tt/2m9X7lp issue is that all the outer bolts will have to go into the formentioned insulation and lintel, I'm concerned that if i go ahead with attaching the support i'll eventually end up with a very broken wall.I can't move the pergola support upwardsi can't lengthen the supportDoes anyone have any idea how i might stabalise this? Below is a stock photo of the Pergola i'm DIY'ing:https://ift.tt/2lsv2FD imagine the above but placed centrally between 2 equally seperated doorways.Thanks in advance! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2m89wpM
