We have a shack in our back yard (some people call it a sleepout) that is fully equipped as a basic bed-sit, with a shower, lavatory, sink-bench, cooker, fridge. It is pretty basic, but can be rented out. Unfortunately the floor is old particleboard (chipboard), and it has suffered deterioration in a couple of places. The worst affected area is just inside the door, at the sides. It is clear that when the wind is from a certain quarter it blows rain through the cracks at the edges of the door, and the water trickles down to where the floor meets the wall. The damage on one side in particular is not restricted to the flooring - the timber supporting the bottom of the door post has also suffered.
I have cut out a piece of the floor (600x1300) and prepared a piece to insert in its place. I'm using the descendant of the old particleboard, a product they call strandboard that is supposedly tougher and more water resistant. I have given the edge and the surfaces within 200 mm of the edge a thorough coating with a two-pot epoxy resin that is designed to soak in. Any other affected timber in the vicinity has received the same treatment. I'm pretty confident that this will do a good job of repelling the water. Nonetheless I'd like to make improvements to the design of the door frame etc to keep the water out as much as is feasible without significant expenditure - I do not want to go as far as building a porch. I'm wondering what is the recommended layout in this situation, and would appreciate any pointers. Since I'm not familiar with the jargon, a site with pictures would be very helpful.
One idea I've had is to ensure that any water arriving at the floor is able to flow through and onto the ground, with the idea that damage will be much reduced if water is not allowed to collect.
