Tarp walls with windows
Windows are particularly vulnerable components on most structures. Impact-resistant glazing or permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for windows. A second option is to laminate the glass with a thin film to keep the glass from shattering. You can also board-up windows with 5/8-inch plywood, cut to fit and ready to install. Tape does not prevent windows from breaking. Numerous manufacturers produce certified storm-resistant window and door products. Also reinforce garage doors against direct wind effects by using storm-resistant doors or by retrofitting existing doors with commercially available products. Roof failures commonly cause major damage to buildings and their contents. Metal brackets and straps can strengthen the connections between the roof and wall systems. Brackets and straps should be attached at the studs and rafters, not to the plywood sheathing. The entire structure can be bolted to its foundation using anchor bolts along the foundation sill.
Damage such as vermin infestations, water damage, and structural obstructions can occur when broken windows and a damaged roof are not addressed quickly.
Keep in mind, the DIY option is not always the best solution. In these cases, reaching out to a professional like Board Up is key when properly tarping up a broken window, or securing a tarp on your roof.
