Up and over garage doors are the work of the devil. I hate the fucking things.
When it eventually tries to kill you by either dropping to the floor or decapitating you with a piece of wire rope on the end of a spring, replace it with almost any other form of door.
I put normal hinged doors on my garage but if I were to do it again, I'd get a roller shutter.
If I were you, I'd cut out the rotten section of wood and butt-splice (fancy term for glueing the ends together) some new stuff in there using polyurethane adhesive and a metal screw-plate. In an ideal world you'd scarf-joint it but that would be trickier with it in place. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

That looks the same design of garage as mine. Which was in the same state.
Put a couple of bricks at the bottom to help keep wood dry (off the damp ground), cut out the rotten stuff and replaced with well treated timber & used Upvc panels to replace the wooden slats at the front.
Also filled the void at at the back to help strengthen it. Although it is not load bearing. Your door does drop with the rotten wood. ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |

The easiest fix would be to simply attach a new piece of timber to the side of the good part of the old piece, the end to rest on the concrete, saw off the rotten bit, and attach another new piece onto the piece you attached first, the same size as the rotten old part was, if you want. Use coach screws, drill clearance holes in the new bit you put on first, and a pilot hole 1/2 the diameter of the coach screw in the bits you're screwing into. Washers under the screw heads. |
