Sliding door threshold

[Benway]

Hi.

After ideas to fill this gap between sliding door and slot drain. 65mm deep 25mm wide. 5m long. Black or anthracite grey. Ideally removable for clearing leaves, etc. Did toy with the idea of cutting up some tiles but didn't really work

Wasn't sure weather to post here, gardens, or windows!

Cheers.

Move the slot drain a sensible distance away so that you can accommodate a pavior (100mm) or some such in the gap. Otherwise, mix up some strong gear, and bed/push the drains into the gear, thus forming a mortar joint. I can see any small tile thickness pieces of decor breaking or splitting when trying to cut or bed down.

In pic one is that a drain hole? No good encasing that.

Thanks. Probably should have said, slot drain is well cemented in! It is a weep hole if any water gets in the frame hence why I'd like to place something removable in case access is ever needed.

It looks like the slot drain is lower than the cill? Is the weep hole higher than the slot drain?

 

[Benway]

Slot drain is level with the cill in the middle of the door, slighty lower at the ends to give the drain soime fall. Weep hole lower then the drain.

Pray tell why doesn't the cill extend out as it should do?

Not sure what you mean. Cill is set back into the brickwork as it's part of the sliding door. Slot drain is installed as close as possible to the cill. I'm getting decking installed and want a flat transition, so i have a gap I need to fill, so asking for ideas as someone may have done similar.
