Garages are an often under protected structure during severe storm conditions. Many people conclude that since no one is in the garage, they don't have to work as diligently to secure the space. What many people don't realize is, an unsecured garage leaves the rest of their home extremely vulnerable to storm damage. As high winds shoot into a garage door, they meet a hard wall, forcing them upward into the roof. Sometimes the pressure is great enough that the roof blows off!

So to protect your garage, home and roof, its important to properly secure your garage door in the event of severe storm conditions.

Sometimes this can mean replacing the door with a sturdier one.

I know it may seem extreme, but as we explained in the article, a vulnerable garage is a vulnerable home during a high wind storm.
