Welcome to today’s 1:5:10:365 Tip for becoming a better steward for our home and planet.
1:5:10:100 EcoTip: Adding bracing to a garage door can increase the chances the building will be able to weather high winds. Temporary bracing can installed whenever high winds are expected, but designing buildings to withstand these types of forces is even better.
