The hurricane shutters are installed and stored away in the garage. We are ready for the next big storm.At 9:30 A.M., right on time, an installer arrived. A few minutes later another one appeared. After lots of very loud drilling of holes and the placement of anchor screws they were finished right at noon. Done.
We have a total of ten windows, including a set of French doors leading to the backyard.
The shutters consist of overlapping galvanized steel panels, about a foot wide and as tall as the window plus a few inches to fit over anchor pins. The panels are attached at each end with washers and wing nuts.
When not covering the windows the panels fit together in one neat cluster in the garage. The footprint for shutter panels for all ten windows is amazingly small, about a square foot.Now there's one final step, we get new, reinforced garage doors.

Comments from my blog readers are always welcome. I am not sure what Hurricane Shutters means by the comment above, but thanks anyway.
Hi all,
Hurricane shutters remain the most economical solution for most homeowners to protect window openings in a storm, although hurricane-proof glass is increasingly popular. Thanks for sharing it......
