appear to have the least amount of problems.

Garage door pricing shows that the lowest priced wooden
garage doors
are constructed of redwood while oak and cedar
garage doors
are normally about twice as expensive. A 16 x 7
redwood garage door will average about $750 to $1100
depending on the type of door construction. Tilt-up garage doors
are especially adaptable to using wood for construction.
Cedar
garage doors
have an additional advantage of being lightweight
and very rot resistant. In addition white
cedar garage doors do a
fairly good job of insulating as well.

If you decide to use a flush fit roll up garage door construction
you should make sure the panels are constructed of one solid
piece of wood. Failure to do so will mean that there is a good
chance that glued and stapled seams will begin to show after
weathering. Finding redwood and cedar material that is straight
and clean can be expensive. Thin wood panels will have a higher
risk of warping than larger dimensions. However it you are
installing an oak door with long solid panels then door weight
may become a concern.

wind garage door manufacture that has a very good artificial
wood finish embossed on it if you live along the Southeast
Coastal areas.

One drawback to wooden garage doors is the unavailability of
some garage doors parts. Panels are custom made and would
have to be manufactured if damaged. All of which may add to the

garage doors cost
overtime.
