Default Drip drip drip

My new place has a garage.....yay!
The garage has a leak......boo!

Gonna investigate in the spring but was wondering if there are any good water proof covers available. Just to keep the drips off over Xmas. Have seen some but they look a bit harsh on paintwork, any soft but waterproof covers out there??

Cheers

Yes, its called roofing felt - you put it on the garage

I just got a cheap weather proof cover from machine mart mate. About 35 quid - spot on.

I'd go for a temporary repair to the roof rather than a cheapo cover that could do more damage to the paintwork in the long run.
