Thought on what to do with this curb?

[Zedder]

I have this curb left after removing a dividing wall that we built when the house was new. Would love to hear your thought on options for covering it! I painted it, but it still looks like ****.

should have removed it before you did the flooring

 

[Zedder]

Thanks. I don’t want it removed because it keeps the slush etc. Out of the third bay.

If it gets wet via slush I just would cover it with pvc 1x boards.

Ceramic tile.

You have FreeFlow tile so slush/snow are water should not be an issue. That looks like a giant shower with the curb. I would cut that out of there as soon as feasible.

That looks stupid. Get rid of it.

I was thinking a bench, but it would probably get in the way of opening the car door.

Demo it before you trip over it and face plant yourself into the floor or a vehicle.

it is a huge safety hazard

 

[NikonRon]

I'd rather have a shallow trench than the wall.

 

[Zedder]

Thanks Acer66 and Nikonron!

If it were me I would want it removed. But since you want to keep it, I would build a little ramp on each side of it, that way it won't be as much of a "trip hazard' as what it is now.

Agree 100%. I’m thinking someone, especially a guest who’s not used to it, stepping back into it and cracking their skull.
If it must stay , put a simple rail about 3’ high with a swing bar for a “gate”. Think it’d be safe then.

Seems like a prime space to cut it down and install a trench drain with a grate on it like they do in firehouses and such. Solves the drainage issue and eliminates the trip hazard.

No question I would remove it. Find another way to deal with water if it is needed.

Nice 993. I have a '96.

 

[rburke65]

What to do with it…? And you don’t want to remove it? Not many other choices in my book….paint it pink?

i second the removal and installation of a grate/trench
