On my garage we put a piece of 3"x3" angle iron at the inside of the door 1/2" above the outside concrete to act as a stop for wind blown rain. It works killer. you attach it to the opening like an L facing in, then all you see of it is the top of one edge. We just had a winter storm with 65 mph winds blowing directly at it and it stayed dry.
Hi Todd,
They sloped my 24x28 garage and I don't care for it.
Too fast of a slope near the side walls and it makes it hard to "arrange" things. Tool boxes roll, sandblaster had to be shimmed on the front legs, shelves shimmed, etc.
Although they did a great job on it otherwise and in 19 years it hasn't heaved or cracked. I live in Colorado so maybe they were trying t keep the water off the sill, and I built the structure and could be they didn't trust me to keep it dry?
Fortunately I took half of the 24x40 pole barn I built for my car projects so now I have a dedicated space, and all I do in the garage is park and storage.
Congrat's. Great floor plan. Might have to copy it someday....I like the living room only plan, great room, its all we really need...
No slope if your planning on lift later. You can always do 1/8" per foot, you wont feel it, but like greg said, easy to hose off.
Also, i used the rustoleum at home depot, did it myself. 14 years ago did beige/tan then three years ago went gray (right over it). No problems with hot tire adhesion, but, Vegas, not so sure. However, it only cost $200 and my 1.5 hour of labor.
