Hurricane Resistant Garage Doors

[Ron in SC]

Has anyone installed these garage doors that are supposed to be able to withstand higher wind loading than standard doors. I think this is the year for me to do that since a garage door is kind of a weak link and once wind gets in there things can deteriorate rapidly. Photo of a reinforced door below.

Haven't ever seen one of those.... but just from looking at all of that extra framework, I'd say it's a LOT tougher than your average door. Looks pretty beefy.

I'm sure you probably know this but if you get hit before you get the doors in, back your cars up against the door.

back your cars up against the door.

I really need a better alternative than that.

I rode out Hugo in Chas. in a house built in 1830

Me too, in the same house I live in now. Then I had wooden garage doors that held up well. I put steel ones on about 7 years ago and they seem very flimsy.
