Hi all,
I've got a new wooden garage/workshop laid flat onto a concrete slab from an older prefab garage (see older post of mine). with the recent wet weather it has become abundantly obvious that water is seeping in under the edge in several places.
I've tried building a small concrete lip to deflect standing water and rainfall but this has had little to no effect. Does the board have any suggestions to seal the unit, I had a number of ideas and would welcome clarification.
1. Smear roof sealant (or similar) all the way around the outside.
2. Lift the garage up (easily doable with crowbars, it's only pine) and fill underneath with exterior silicon (from caulking gun or similar).
3. make a big lip with concrete (several inches).
all suggestions gratefully received.
Tom
