Impact resistant garage door

An impact resistant garage door having a plurality of horizontally extending panels, including a top panel, a bottom panel and multiple intermediate panels, interconnected by a pivot located between adjacent ones of the panels to permit rotation of adjacent ones of the panels relative to each other when the garage door moves between a vertically oriented lowered orientation and a horizontally oriented raised orientation, comprising:

• a vertical bollard supported rearwardly on opposing sides of the garage door;
• each said panel having a panel body structure formed of a layer of high strength ballistic material sandwiched between a front impact shield and a rear plate;
• each said panel having top and bottom cap members positioned to receive and capture said panel body structure;
• the top and bottom panels also having opposing rearward extensions of the panel body, which encircles the respective bollards, said rearward extensions moving vertically along the bollards when the garage door moves between the raised and lowered orientations.

• a vertical bollard supported rearwardly on opposing sides of the garage door;
• each said panel having a panel body formed with a layer of high strength ballistic material sandwiched between an aluminum front impact shield and an aluminum rear plate;
• each said panel having top and bottom cap members positioned to receive and capture said panel body;
• said top and bottom panels also having opposing rearward extensions of the panel body, which encircles the respective bollards, said rearward extensions sliding vertically along the bollards when the garage door moves between raised and lowered orientations.
