Default Rotted overhead garage door.

I have an overhead garage door that is apparently made of a composite
skin over composite bracing. Although painted, it appears to soak up
rainwater and rot. I tried patching it with bondo, but that didn't
work. So now I'm looking for a replacement that is impervious to water.

The dealers around here have wood doors, and steel doors. They claim
the finish will protect them, but I'm not confident since wood rots and
steel corrodes.

Are there better options. I would think fiberglass or aluminum would be
better.


My steel door is by Overhead Door. After 12 years, it is still in
perfect condition. Yes, aluminum may be better (and more expensive),
but this is working for me.

They have fiberglass also.
