Hurricane window coverings
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 12:08 pm
Good Morning...
Thank God we in Navarre have only tiny tiny tar balls BUT it IS going to get worse ... PLEASE KEEP the families who work the Gulf in your prayers...
OK to my question.... We are thinking about permanently installing metal U things (braces or supports or whatever I can find ) attached at the top corners and bottom corners of the windows (on the outside) and when hurricanes come we cound just slide the plywood into the metal U hickies and it then totally covers the window... I could then attach the plywood to the U things with screws... Of course if what I find (U things) does not have holes I'll drill them so I can attach them to the outer wall at the window and then to the plywood... Sorry but I do not know what this stuff is called BUT ANY advice will be helpful... Thanks to yall I did not attempt to remove my center wall in the doublewide so I trust yalls answers... I cannot afford anything other than home made window coverings..... Please advise ASAP cause its July 2010 and we have only been in the place fulltime since Feb 09... Thanks again
