Wonderful inside/outside transition

9 years ago

Loved the look!
Wondering how you were able to make the drain part of this smooth transition... what kind of drain did you use on the outside threshold of the pocketing doors?
Thank you!

Hi,
There is a 1” elev difference between interior floor and exterior top of paving. Door track sits at lower elev and includes weeps. Paving slopes to
Garden. In a location with more rain I’d increase the elev difference.
Thx for the question.
