Unique garage door problem-ideas please!

I live in beautiful Montana where we built a house in 1980. A few years later, the area where we built the house was designated a flood plain. We just acquired a permit to build a garage onto our house, but one of the stipulations was that we could not put a garage door on. We now have a very nice garage that is open to the elements and critters. We have been trying to come up with ideas to secure the garage. We've thought about a chain-link type of door, but our local garage door companies don't know about any such thing. We've thought about scissor gates. These wouldn't keep the elements out, but would protect our valuables from the 2 legged critters. We've been told absolutely no garage door and this will be inspected. Any ideas? Thanks!
