Be Summer Smart and Safe
The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Herons Glen requires that garage doors and/or roll down screens shall remain closed at all times except during ingress, egress, occupancy of the garage or during lot maintenance by the homeowner.
Summer is here and the garage is hot. Should you open the garage door and leave it open to let out the hot air while you stay inside where it is nice and cool? If you do not have a roll down screen in place the answer is no you should not do that.
An unattended open garage:
• Is inviting to wildlife, bugs, snakes, and rats. A cool garage floor can be very inviting to wildlife that would like a little shade and a cool place to rest.
• Provides a content view for would be criminals passing by.
• A place for a criminal to hide, easy access to the least secure door leading into your home. Most garages likely have a few hand tools to provide the criminal with extra help to get in.
If leaving your garage door open is something you really like to do then consider applying for approval to install a roll down screen. The benefit of having a roll screen is the ability to leave your garage door open, maintain your privacy and keep everything else out.
Do not leave your garage door open, if you have a roll down screen in use, remember to close and secure your garage door at night.
