Can a wood garage door withstand high wind conditions?
Wood can be very strong, especially oak, but if you live in a location that occasionally experiences high wind conditions like tornadoes or hurricanes, the use of wood might not be a good choice for your doors. This is especially true if you have a double garage and the door panel spans are double wide. These doors were simply not made to withstand high winds. For that type of environment, you would be better off with reinforced steel doors.
