Hello everyone,
I'm planning to replace the garage door with vertical paneling and a door, making it a utility entrance. It's a typical garage with a slight slope downwards, allowing moisture to seep in quite easily, even though it's relatively sheltered from certain directions.
Placing a beam directly on the ground seems unwise, and I'm considering if the recommendation is to cast a curb/wall to lift it a bit off the ground. Mainly so that the vertical paneling maintains a good distance from the ground and the beam closest to the ground isn't too close. (even with a sill).
What do you think, what's the best approach?
