Hurricane Proof Your Roof Before the Next Storm

Lindsay ~ 29 December 2008

More than 40% of U.S. homeowners live in hurricane-prone coastal areas, and if that’s you, it makes sense to make your house as storm proof as possible.

Sure you can get a whole new roof installed, but if that isn’t in the cards (read: way expensive), you might want to check out the Storm Proof Roof System from TriCord Hurricane Products.

It’s a temporary system that adds weight to the edges of your roof, which decreases the odds that heavy winds will tear off sections. It’s made from nylon-reinforced plastic modules that you fill with a garden hose. Then you just skedaddle up a ladder and position the weighted modules on the roof.

The modules can be filled and placed in three to four hours and then stored when the threat of the hurricane has passed.

The roof system costs around $1,200 to $1,800 for a 1,800 square foot roof.
