I have just moved to a house at the back of a beach, fully exposed to the sea. There is a balcony on the first floor and when there is a southerly gale, and only in a southerly gale, water is forced under the doors to the balcony, despite my attempts to make them waterproof.
My next idea is to fit a removable horizontal board such as is used to prevent floods getting through openings in flood walls or on the doors of houses in flood areas.
My idea is not to make a waterproof seal but to provide shelter from the winds in gales and storms so that water is not forced under the doors.
The door is narrow both in width and depth.
I would welcome any advice as to whether I have a reasonable solution and if not please offer suggestions.
If I have a reasonable solution, what can I use as brackets to hold the board in place given that I have narrow frame.
Thanks all
Brendan
