As you can see, maintaining a crawlspace entryway like this is definitely not ideal, but it's extremely common. Most homeowners aren't aware that there's a easier, more aesthetically pleasing way to secure your crawlspace. You can have a Turtl door installed. It's made from a durable, non-fading, high density plastic that won't warp in the sun, snow, rain, or wind. It's a quick installation that will make a beautiful, functional improvement to your home and yard.
