Three Reasons Why You Want A Garage Door Installation Even When You Live In The "Boonies"

30 October 2015
 Categories: , Blog

Living on the edge of wilderness territory means that there are a lot of things you do not have to worry about, like if you lived closer to civilization (i.e., a city). However, that does not mean your garage should go without a garage door. Here are three reasons why you will still want to hire someone for a garage door installation even when you live out in the boondocks.

Snow

Having an open garage seems like a great idea, until you are slammed with a lot of snow. When you live in the middle of nowhere, you get a lot more snow than you expected because there is nothing else around to block the snow or keep it from piling up around you. Without a garage door, all of that snow fills up your open garage to the rafters, and you have to dig your vehicle (and everything else) out of the bank that fills the open spaces in your garage. Install a garage door and now you can open the garage and take your snow blower through the first drifts parked outside your door and not in your garage.

Wild Animals

Living so close to the edge of wild animal territory, you will end up with bats, birds, raccoons, opossums, mice, rats, rabbits and about a half dozen other creatures all looking for a safe haven. If you have no garage door to speak of, that safe haven becomes your garage, and anything you have in it becomes food or shelter to the feral critters. At least if you have a garage door installed, you can keep out the vast majority of those critters because only the smallest rodents will be able to squeeze under the garage door or gnaw their way into the building.

Thefts

Sure, you live way out where no other human beings dare to tread, but that does not mean you are completely safe. Wanderers, squatters and those desperate for help may see your open garage as an invitation or a "sign" to take what is available, from gas to your car. As hard as you may try to get away from some of the reasons for having a garage and garage door in the city, there is still the remote possibility that you will encounter thieves in the vast countryside as well. Avoid that remote possibility and just get a garage door installed as soon as possible.
