waterproof roof between carport and shed

[Rona]

Hello, 

I recently have started putting weather proof flashing to stop rain pouring into between carport and shed, to stop rust and the water sitting there. 

I need advise for around the post please as there seems to be rain still able to get in around the post, is there a better solution to this ? 

See photos 

Will also put anti rust paint on bottom of shed once watertight 

Thank you

Hi @Rona,

Great job on using flashing with the Colorbond contours—that’s quite a bit of work to ensure the weatherproofing is done properly! It sounds like while you've waterproofed the front of the post, water might still be running down the rear of it, which is likely causing the issue. Getting behind the post to add flashing can be tricky, but you could try squirting a liberal amount of silicone sealant around the post and using a thin tool to push the silicone into any gaps at the rear. This should help create a better seal and stop the water from getting in. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
