I have frenchwindows with a softwood threshold. This receives an

Has anyone any recommendations?

Thanks

Bit of zinc or copper sheet hammered round? Or stainless steel checequer
plate.

Pretty sure B&Q sell some of those in small sheet sizes. I've seen zinc
used this way.


Halfway decent softwood can easily withstand humans standing on it,
until it starts to rot.......
