ABSTRACT:
A garage door bracing arrangement comprises a plurality of vertically extending door-stiffening column members, which are pivotally attached to upper mounting brackets affixed to garage building structure directly above the garage door opening. Lower mounting brackets are affixed to second ends of the column members and are anchored to the garage floor directly beneath the upper mounting brackets. The door-stiffening column members are configured as generally hollow, rigid, telescoping sections having longitudinal channels which retain fasteners that project from sides of the telescoping sections, so as to pass through holes in mounting brackets that affix the door-stiffening column members to the garage building structure, and deflection brackets that secure the door-stiffening column members to door panel hinge joints. The upper mounting bracket is configured to allow for a pivot swing type of movement, that eliminates pull stress from the upper bracket, when the bracing system is placed in an outward or suction condition created by high cross winds.
