For a bi-folding door...

I don't want the old stuffed sausage dog that my old 90 year-old neighbour would have knitted (bless her soul)if i can help it so...

Any ideas/alternatives?

Or for a neater look, rebate a slot down the centre of the bottom door rails and glue in some brush seal.

Done.

The curtain idea may work tho it may cause problems opening it fully but worth a try...

Will check that out later - cheers.

Stoner - and cheers again, screwfix always worth a go...

I asked at work and they all reckon cutting a standard screw-on type in half but it just seems naff and I expect it to wear and split and basically be no good in a short space of time...

Too expensive.
If you're going the curtain route, do it properly with pelmets and proper length. You'll need a good length. 😯
