That's awesome you were able to get it on sale. I appreciate you telling me, because we just ordered some for my parents. They're having water come in under their garage door. Good luck with your project. It's been over a year and this is still holding up great.

You’re welcome! This keeps out a majority of the water. If it is a hard flooding rain sometimes water comes from the sides of the roll up doors and comes through the door. They have brushes you can buy to put on the sides of the roll up doors but it hasn’t been a big enough of a problem for me to invest in those.

You’re very welcome.

Thank you! The GoPro I was using did not like to be paused for whatever reason so I just left those clips in there. I’m glad you liked it.

You're very welcome!

That’s genius! I’ve seen a couple of people do it and see that it’s becoming more popular. We’re going to be building another metal building this year and will have to try that out. I bet it works great.

This corrected the water coming in from the bottom, check out my other videos on this, after this I had humidity issues. Now I have everything straightened out. No leaks or humidity issues! 😃

Will do! Yeah I saw it a little, but didn't know that it was quite that bad. As much silicone as I used I don't think i'll have any water issues for a long time. haha I won't add any concrete, because the frame itself is on the existing concrete thank goodness, it was just the tin part thats hanging so not that big of a deal. I am going to get some more recycled concrete and put around the perimeter though.

Oversized slab not a good idea water will always find its way in...

You’re welcome. I just used 100% outdoor rated silicone. Put it around the base of the building like in the video and it’s been close to a year now with no water intrusion!

Check out this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrigkttkrsWXZGw.html This did away with water seeping under the building. Then I had a really humid day come up and all of my stuff had water on it! I also have another video of me installing turbine vents on top. I have no water issues after doing these things. It's humid here, and we have high winds and awful thunderstorms and since I've done these things no water in my building!

@@reallifetested2605 yeah that was my next question I've heard about sweating issues. I'll check it out. Thanks.

No leaks! I used GE all purpose silicone. It's the cheapest thing with a lifetime guarantee that I found at my local Lowes home improvement store.

This is the one I used here. I got it on amazon. Thank you for checking the video out! amzn.to/3CzrBAc

It's just the ge all purpose caulk that you can get at home depot or lowes. So far its been holding up excellent with no water getting through.

So far it’s still working/looking as good as the day I put it down.

I did the same about 10 years ago now. It needed replacing after about 5 years. How quickly it deteriorates depends on climatic conditions. The part of the building that had to be siliconed was totally exposed to the sun. I think 5 year survival rate is not bad.

Honestly i'm not sure, I do know that they use this sillicone on windows, doors, conduit etc to seal the home better. I imagine it does need to be replaced every so often. Since you mentioned I looked it up and it says depending on climate, sunlight etc. it last 10 to 20 years. So far it looks as good as the day I did it, (which was only about a year ago at this point)

I would imagine that would be fine. The water intrusion was really only when it was torrential downpour for hours anyhow. There’s not much gap. If you were insulating I’d definitely do regular garage doors because these roll up doors I don’t think could be insulated too well.

Rat ledge/ brick ledge/drip ledge absolute resolves this issue.

I didn’t know that! I actually saw this comment a few days ago and wanted to go check before responding. Luckily I don’t have any rust. Like you say though if that coating gets removed it’s all over with anyhow.

@@reallifetested2605 its not dramatic but it does promote oxidization. i sealed a shed to a base and it started to rust within a couple days. but that was a cheap shed and the frame was simply galvanized steel.

It's actually raining outside as I type this comment, not a drop of rain getting in my shop right now and it's been a little over a year since i've done this.

@@reallifetested2605 Thanks for getting back with me. Where did you get the garage door threshold parts and what was it called so I can get the same thing?

@@dwighttravis5484 I got the threshold on amazon. If you look in the description I put a link for that as well as the adhesive I used.

I did the outside slab as an apron, 3' wide with a 1" drop from one side to the other. The issue with these metal buildings is that they're literally just sat on top of the pad, and bolted down with concrete anchors. No sealant or anything to keep water from intruding in. What would have been awesome is if they installed some sort of thick rubber (or silicone) and then bolted the building down, or have some barrier on the bottom of the steel. The way this is before I added the silicone it would only have water intrusion with hard rains. Luckily the silicone keeps everything out now. Thanks for checking out my video, and for your comment.

@@reallifetested2605 maybe you could release each bolt and jack up one side at a time and try installing some kind of barrier. Hopefully what you did helps. Building a 30x40x12 currently and they dug out to much dirt and a stump so like a pond on the backside of our now;( the joys of self contractors when non others are available. Hey thanks for your video

I’ve found that the manufacturers don’t recommend an apron. Mine calls for concrete to be exact dimensions of frame so the siding can be brought down over the edge of concrete.

So far it has kept all of the water out. The door thresholds for the roll up doors have worked excellent as well. Thank you for checking out my video!

Good deal. I appreciate the quick response, Sir.

I needed 10' high doors and the lady at the place I got the building from said that 11' is the most economical so that's what I went with.

It did as far as water intrusion from the bottom. I also had humidity issues which I made other videos on how to correct that as well.

@@reallifetested2605 Thank you I will look for those videos also

The metal building companies dont offer anything like that. It would be nice if they did because I would've gladly paid a little extra for it. It even says in the contract you sign before they come to install it that water intrusion from the bottom is normal and that you agree to understand that.

I am closing in a car porch with wooden pressure treated sills. What type of sill seal are you talking about. Will be building walls two feet from edge of concrete. Desperate for any good suggestions.

See something you don't approve of?

@@reallifetested2605no, your video was great! Enjoy the haters, just more views for your video!
