Choosing an opener for a Kanata garage
Kanata Lakes and Kanata North homes often have a bonus room over a double garage, so a belt-drive LiftMaster or Chamberlain with MyQ is the usual pick. In townhouse rows near the tech park a Craftsman or MasterCraft chain-drive is a practical, budget-friendly choice. Kanata stretches from the original 1960s and 1970s Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn streets to Bridlewood, Morgan's Grant and Kanata Lakes, with plenty of townhouses near the tech park and newer homes in Kanata North.
