We have replaced the sill, cellar roof beams, etc., on one side of the facade after a previous cellar entrance leaked and caused both the cellar roof and sill to rot. In doing so, we also tore down asbestos and replaced the panel on the entire side.

Previously, the entrance had a small gable roof and then a sloping door. Now we have framed the slanted entrance all the way up to the facade with flashing on top. BUT how have you solved drainage above the hatch with a similar cellar entrance? Could some type of small drip edge suffice? It's on the east side of the house. Otherwise, it is intended to be clad in the same panel as the house.
 
  • A newly built basement entrance with slanted wooden framing and black covering, next to a red-paneled house wall.

I have a similar construction on the back of my house. Also need tips on solutions.
 
After much deliberation, this is the result we achieved. We built and tested simultaneously, and it has worked perfectly fine like this a year later.
 
  • Red wooden house with a green window, showing a cellar door built in contrasting red and black colors. Person standing nearby, outdoor setting.
  • Outdoor staircase entrance with red siding and a chain, leading down to a basement.
  • Wooden black and red cellar doors with metal hinges and handles, installed against a red exterior wall.
