What’s the best way to block a garage door?
Construct a 2×2 framework of stud batons, @ 600mm centres. This will be set forward of the crappy plywood by 2″. 2. Use silicon to seal the whole framework (will be fixed to floor/walls/ceiling). 3. In the void between the batons and the garage door/plywood I was going to pack standard loft insulation, floor to ceiling. (NB: is this worth doing?)
Why is my garage blocked by a parked car?
