Is there anyway to stop my garage door from dripping inside the
garage
when I open it in the rain? Is this normal?


Normal for some doors on some garages. Are you a first-time
homeowner?

No, first time garage woodworking workshop owner At our old house
the door was one solid piece that swung up so the only drips possible
were at the edges which isn't a big deal and only having a car in
there
I couldn't care less. This door is in sections so the drips come
through those gaps and get much further into the garage and all over
my
tools. Just wondering if there was a way to prevent it.

The only practical way I can think of would be to build some sort of
drip tray below the rails. I suppose one could be fabricated from
sheet metal. It would have to be low enoug to clear any operating
mechanism of course.


Glue sheet plastic to the seams, and or put a canopy over the tool
bench.


No, the canopy goes over the driveway so the garage door never even gets
wet. ;-)
