Hi all,
been slowly plodding along with a DIY double garage in my back garden. Getting ready to pour the concrete floor now that the weathers finally improved.
Garage backs on to a concrete access road. I was just planning to throw down the dpm and rebar and pour and level the concrete all the way up to the access road, with either a slight slope or lip where they meet to avoid water running into the garage during heavy rain. The garage door is going to be mounted on the internal wall face, so it the floor will run through to the other side.
I'm now worried that any rainfall onto the outside portion of the garage floor will absorb and make its way back underneath the roller door. There is a house few doors down that recently done a garage and they did the concrete slab with just a lip, but still not confident, so please advise.
Hopefully I made sense with my question, attached a couple images to help
Measurements if useful:
approx 7mx6m garage
built with single skin dense blocks
garage door opening 4m
many thanks
