1)    Lay a part unrolled waterproof tarp along the width of the of the garage door (inside)

2)    Add weight along the internal line of the door (5 litre chemical tubs work well but be sure to cover the entire width with weight.

3)    Fold the tarp over the weight.

This creates a decent seal that very little water will pass.

Regards


Ian

I use old towles rolled up it does the trick also good for puting round drains to stop most of the mud going down and blocking them.

I always start at every door and work away from it,even if its just for a foot or so,that way you get hardly any under it and a lot less all over it.
