I have a 18 ft two car garage door that was damaged by the spring when

still keeps bending.Â* Any suggestions?

The repair guy wants $700 for the top panel.Â* Is there a cheaper place
where to get that?

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Would putting a piece of garage door rail across the broken part
do any good?
The ones I saw at a local farm supply store looked a lot like channel iron.

Or anything steel that's similar, eg a piece of angle iron. HD sells
it in lengths. For that matter, I don't see why the 2x4 would not work
if it was properly bolted in place. But angle iron would be far less
noticeable.
