Always ensure your entry point is properly sealed; especially in areas where the material may rub against hardware and cause the removal of paint, stain, or sealant. If your driveway collects water at the base of your parking lot entry, consider altering your drainage or the pitch of the entry to avoid having the bottom of the cheap garage door sit in standing water as this can be a quick path to rot. Natural materials can deteriorate faster than metals, so keep up with the maintenance of yours, especially if you live in an area of high wind or high rain, or extreme cold. Harsh elements can accelerate the damage done to your beautiful natural wood garage door.
