Build a curb on existing concrete floor in garage, install sheet metal?
I have a carport with a slab on the ground where there is a floor drain and wooden walls.
In the winter, when there is a lot of slush running off the car, it can sometimes be damp near the walls despite the slope toward the drain.
In retrospect, I would now consider building something up with bricks or protecting the wooden wall in some other way.
Maybe it's easier to attach a sheet metal that I glue with PL400 against the concrete and then screw into the wall? It's not like water is gushing against the wall.
Just looking for an easy solution to protect the wall.

I have this problem too. I'm considering the metal sheet solution but with some sealant against the floor instead.Suhagg said:I have a carport with a concrete slab floor where there is a floor drain and wooden walls.
