w/c Illinois | I like A. Make sure you go deep with your concrete and heaving of the threshold won't be a problem. I'm assuming your building won't be heaving or sinking either, but your header will likely sag some over time. Having a C or a T inside the bottom of the door means your vertical clearance adjustment is more critical. Only downside to option A is there is no protection from the door blowing out once you leave the center post. What about a flat on edge (say 3/8 by 6") with about 1 1/2'' exposed to go up into the bottom of the door? Similar to option E without the horizontal top. Less likely to hook an implement on it and less dependent on perfect door adjustment. I might even leave a few spaces along the run to allow trapped water to drain out. |
