Diver One Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Do you use round cornered hinges or 'square off' the corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a triple garage that when built by the previous owner the planning excluded the fitting of doors! When it rains with a prevailing wind the rain goes quite a way into the garage, which clearly isn't particularly good. Whilst there is rarely a car in the garage, I'm thinking of fitting some kind of doors. I imagine that as the opening is only 7ft 8 they would best be fitted on to the outside of the pillars so as to not lose any on the entrance width. Any thoughts on the best door setup for the job?

You’ll be doing well without a frame plus you can seal it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That design of garage usually has the frames tucked in behind the piers, and usually have up and over or roller/shutter doors 👍That's what it was probably intended to have when built 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
