Default 2 garage doors

One main problem is that this house is right on the ocean front.
steel, etc. will rust, and rust quickly.
So, yes, I understand the problem.
I am a bit stumped so to speak.......
I like steel, and sheet metal, and pop rivets....
A door like this would have to be made out of stainless, and that
just blew it out of the water......
hummm?
I would love to try to come up with a wood airplane wing design, that
is, modified, for the doors.
Like these inexpensive hollow core have webs of cardboard....Now I
would not go that route.
Although structurally, and like a beehive, it is very strong, and
lightweight....

A quick search of "fiberglass garage doors" produced these people.

Might be worth talking to them.

BTW, stainless is exactly that, it stains LESS.

Anything other than 316L isn't going to cut it.

Bronze is a better choice for a marine application.
