Aaron’s advises homeowners to determine the kind of garage door that they would ideally need given the speed of anticipated high winds or a storm, and recommends that homeowners determine if there is anything that they can do to fortify their garage door, so that it can withstand the turmoil.

“There are actually three solutions that you can choose from,” says Aaron’s on fortifying the garage to withstand a storm. “-buying a new garage door that is capable of withstanding the expected range of high winds by the virtue of its construction and installation, garage door repair to enable the existing garage door to sustain the storm or to use retrofit kits that can be installed before a storm sets in and can protect the garage door during the stormy event.”

Aaron’s reminds homeowners of the importance of a garage door that is capable of withstanding high winds.

“If a garage door blows away or gives in then there can be serious damage to the car or the vehicle parked as well as the entire house,” writes Aarons. “Because of garage doors giving away, the high winds can storm in the house and even blow off the roof, as has been seen times and again around the world. If you aren’t buying a new garage door then you should get a garage door repair company work on your existing door and upgrade it to sustain the wind load requirement.”

A lot can be done to help reinforce a garage door to help it to be able to withstand high winds. Stiles can be changed, and additional sheets of steel can be added, and hinges and vents can be reinforced.
