5 Garage Door Upcycling Ideas

There are many reasons to replace a garage door. Some are bent – the perils of having a learner driver. Some old timber doors can be rotten if they haven’t been treated properly. However, you might be upgrading your garage door for better security or better insulation and there’s nothing structurally wrong with your old door. It seems a shame to take it to the tip – why not upcycle it? Check out these five fun ideas.
