I have a 5th wheel, that I built a press board enclosure under the front, and plywood siding around the bottom for the Winter.
I have 2x4's running the length and width of the 5th wheel, nailed with concrete nails into asphalt, then the press board and plywood screwed into the 2x4's where they meet the asphalt.
It looks good, but I'm on an incline and water (rain) just flows under the 5th wheel, this of course isn't good for the wood and I need a way to block the flow.
I started with bricks, bought enough lay one course on a concrete fence pad close to the structure; but a bit of forethought, that's not going to work and I have piles of bricks I need to return.
Latest strategy, I'm thinking of using flashing and an asphalt/wood adhesive (FlashMate) to glue and seal the asphalt and wood, blocking the water flow and channel it elsewhere. flashing position -> L
I've googled a lot and have read and reread the masonry books I got from the library, - and asphalt seems hard to find anything that will bond with it, so bricks and mortar seem out. I'd rather not work with a hot glue, and do this myself.
Would anybody have any advise on how I could stop the water flow? Would the flashing work, a good adhesive, another idea, I'm open :).
Thanks.
