Garage Door Bracing

  Garage doors are one of the weakest links in your fight with wind damage.  During recent hurricanes many garage doors failed allowing hurricane force winds to enter and destroy quite a few homes.  The best way to tell if you need to add extra track bracing is to grab the track and try to twist it.  If it turns more than 10 degrees or 1/4 inch, you need to add them.
