    Brick walls and car doors?

    Hi All,

    Anyone got any bright ideas on what i can put along a brick wall in my drive to protect my doors from the bricks?

    I was thinking heavy duty draft excluder, but its still not cheap. Any ideas welcome

    More info needed. What are you trying to protect from ? Parking or kids exiting ? And a pic of the wall might lead to something more in keeping being suggested

    Yea basically just wood clad as little or as much as you want. It won't harm the door then.

    That could be an idea. Only if they made it on black. Or brick orange.

    Could use something like this, just a shame it's bright yellow.

    Just coat the whole wall up to a height of 4 foot with expanding foam then trim back to an even finish. Lol

    Seriously, use a piece of guttering (in colour of your choice) at mid door height with top facing the wall.

    Now there's an idea. Stick it on with grip fill too as it's light! Good thinking Jonny!
