Cedar Garage Door

We wanted a timber garage door, with a tilt-action automatic opening. This type of garage door can be too heavy with certain timber types, so they are generally only made in 12mm cedar. This is a beautiful timber, and it would be criminal to paint it. So we decided to treat it with oil, which will need re-newing at least every 6 to 12 months. (Clear polyurethanes are not durable in the sun).

The door design reflects the segmented-arch lintels over the top of our windows. We applied two coats of oil.
