Weatherproofing an outward opening wooden door
Discussion
I have an outward opening wooden door which leaks under heavy rain which I would like to weather proof ahead of fixing some wood-rot.
I can’t see anything which is obviously designed for what I need, which I think is:
- small canopy over the top
- some sort of rubber seal which fits over the hinge side
- some sort of seal at the bottom
Does anyone have examples of how they’ve sealed their doors? Any ideas gratefully received!
