When it rains outside, sometimes it seems like nothing can be ever right again. There really is something terribly dreadful, something that seems tragic about the dim lights, the pattering sounds, the dampness in the air... it seems to suck everything out of the day. You probably are less hungry, less excited about things, less prone to want to take as stroll or talk with friends. Your energy levels drop dramatically, irritability skyrockets.
That is, if you have to go outside in the rain. If you get to stay inside, then it's can be wonderful, especially if you're allowed to snuggle into bed under the covers with a really massive cup of steaming hot mint tea and a book for most of the day, and chicken soup is involved.
But poor garage doors, they don't have a choice on the matter. They are the barrier between you and the rain. That is their lot in life. And when the winds blow and the rain smatters, it is your garage door that takes the beating. Therefore, you shuld make sure the surface of your garage door is up to the challenge. Metal materials can rust, and wood can soak and rot. Nature has found a way to make things like skin and leaves water-repellant, but for man made things we must rely on man made materials, like poly blend plastics and rust resistant alloys. We need to make sure water will bead at the surface of the door, not soak in, that water left unattended won't corrode the corners.
So next time you're upgrading your home, pick water-repellant paints, pick materials that can weather the storm, not break or disintegrate. We have the luxury of entirely weather-proof materials at our disposal any time, any where. So do not hesitate to take full advantage of these things, you definitely will not regret it.
