Just put some additional seals on the garage doors to prevent any chance of water getting in!

Can I get that from b and q please or is it from mh supplier?
man after my own hart love a scrapyardWent to local scrap yard for some bits for the runaround/shed. Missus went for a nose round and found a 2b Ducati. Had both door lock mechanisms and both window regulators with motors for £20. Plus a nice ceramic plant pot that she found in the back of a car. And 61 pence. Off to Exmouth for my birthday last week of May. Can't wait. See you on the road.

Is it poss to have photo of how you did it pleaseHi Paul. 3M tape on the back of the seal run . Pop it into the channel and firm in place . Apply a small run of 1/8 x 5/8 or 3mm x 16mm flat seal to the underside of the hinges. Stops any water getting in at all! Tested with my pressure wash ( Not directly but enough) to give a decent down pour. All was spot on.
Im guessing that time will tell of course.

were the seals self adhesive or did you use a special glue?
Why don't we have a look at the weekend Joy, someone may be able to help you.After putting it off and putting it off, I am going to have to fix my awning ..
Any tips please.
The metal work is fine .. it's the cloth.
Over five years ago a mini tornado ripped through a brilliant sunny afternoon rally .. and lifted my awning .. Terry and young Jake hung onto it for dear life but it still went up and the material tore at one end.
I havn't used it since and when I looked at it over 12months ago it had gone rotten where the tear is. I am thinking, if I cut along the awning (hence making it about 6inches shorter .. but that isn't an issue .. ) , can I take the damaged length out of the metal grip and insert the now-clean-cut length of awning back into the metal bar ? Any tips?
...or am I grasping at straws? Hope I have described this properly.

It might help you to know that the fabric is slid into a groove just like a caravan awning rail. The end of the fabric is rolled around a piece of cord then stitched (or heat welded - can't remember). You need to do the same after cutting off the ripped part. I did the job on my roll-out 2 vans ago and a friend used an industrial sewing machine to stitch it. I know he won't be doing another one . Although the repair is simple in concept actually doing it is pretty difficult with heavy fabric that doesn't want to bend. An alternative in hindsight would be to have a piece of keder strip sewn to it.Why don't we have a look at the weekend Joy, someone may be able to help you.
