Building New Garage Doors - Best Wood?

[fergusmacdonald]

Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

What did you end up doing and how did they turn out?

I'm contemplating this same question now and wondering whether untreated larch might work well. I guess it won't last as long as treated/maintained but thinking along the larch cladding idea. Was thinking to build a door in similar style to yours and then put a secondary vertical spaced out cladding on the front of it for aesthetic.
