I must fit a weather-bar to our new french doors before the winter weather comes down.
Two choices really, one is an aluminium extrusion from Stormguard (the 63mm version) and the other is the re-purpose a window cill from a new window that was never fitted in the shed...don't ask!
The Stormguard option is neat, fairly easy to fit but looks out of place on timber doors. It would last forever of course....
If I went for the cut-down cill option, how much projection should I allow and would it be best to screw/glue from the outside, then plug?
This cill has been out in all weathers without any sign of damage, so I assume it's made from decent timber and maybe treated.
Any advice from the carpenters/joiners here?
