This thing above the garage door



Drips all over the door handle, lock, door and cill. I've just replaced the corroded handle and lock and I'll repaint the cill. Thinking of mounting something like this, £25 ebay special directly underneath biggrin unless anyone has any better ideas?

I've read online that the flue should be 300mm above the porch. Is this correct?

I put a spirit level on it, hardly any fall. (non condensing)

Attach a chain/cable/whatever between it and the drain and it'll run down it.


Unless it's blowing a gale.....
No drain handy, I've hung a bucket over it for now. The splashing has actually etched the glass on the door! So don't know how well a £25 ebay canopy will stand up.

I may make something more substantial with wood and roofing felt. biggrin
