I guess I was not clear, I am thinking of drilling 2 holes in the
aluminum bottom support rail, on both sides of the corner post.. not
in the tile, that should give the water a lower place to drain to..


What I hear you say is that the tile went in after the enclosure. The
frame rest/fastened on the concrete pad. You need two weep holes at
the low end; to drain water. You can drill two holes, imo.


dont know what weep holes are, but there are no holes in it plugged, i
am thinking of doing what oren sez..


A weep hole; like a drain, similar to tear duct sp in the eye.

Drill from the inside, just at or above tile level - towards the
outside at a 45* down angle.

I "sez" what I sez and I'll sez it again.
