If you added a rail, the rain, (depending on the direction), would still most likely rain down over the top of the rail. I've attached a couple of mock-ups for you.

We have a storm seal (NOT just a weather seal) and on the occasions when the wind blows the rain in under the porch we don't get any rain coming in underneath. We've had weather seals in other houses and they just sort of hang down, the storm seal has two pieces, one on the bottom of the door and one on the floor, and they wedge together tight. Here's a pic of what I mean. http://www.ecomaster.com.au/shop/index. ... 1b65a19ec6 |
