Lucky you.
I've been looking to buy a garage for the past 4 years.
Unfortunately, here in London, people live in garages so there's none for sale.
Braced and ledged doors - do they settle?

I've been looking to buy a garage for the past 4 years.

Here's a pic of my LBF M&T gate that sagged.
I put tension on it with the ratchet straps. It didn't shift during the hot dry summer, but once the weather changed, it lifted. I have now got it slightly above true, so that when I refit the braces and remove the straps, it will relax down until the braces are in compression enough to prevent it sagging,
The ring bolts will stay in case I need to do it again, I have it in mind to add a steel rod in tension to keep it square.
