Here is my new garage / workshop:
I have a problem with the doors. Behold:
As you can see, the door is pretty warped and sticking right out at the top when shut (the last picture is of it closed!) - to the point rain can get in.
My long-term aim is to make the whole building more water-tight and insulate it, then install remotely-operated roller doors, but for now what are my options?
Two I was thinking of:
1) brace the top half of the door with some steel bar to bring its edge back in to line; and
2) build a small canopy over the top to direct water away from the top edge.
I have no home DIY experience but am keen to have a go - the previous owner of my house left a number of good tools such as a circular saw and a mitre saw - plus there are loads of wood offcuts at various lengths in the car port to the side of the workshop itself.
Suggestions please!
