Re: Concrete vs Wood Exposure

Re: Concrete vs Wood Exposure
Mark, The concrete in the doorway is 1/4¡± lower than the interior slab. The 2¡¯ pad outside the doorway has minimal slope due to grading challenge. The rough grading is just shy of what it needs to

Re: Concrete vs Wood Exposure
Imran, How about a grated trench drain and if need be grinding a slop on the shop part of the slab to flow water to the drain? I would get rid of the stop as they suck if your wheeling carts in and

Imran, Thank you, I switched to another product for the totem pole due to how hot it got. However this is good because I haven't glued up my test curve yet and this makes me feel more confident. I

Hi Mark, I thought it was simple enough to explain. Anyhow, This is one design with a step threshold. There is wood under the door and then in the back there is a stop. In the other scenario, like my

Re: Concrete vs Wood Exposure
