- If you live in a hurricane prone area, you NEED these shutters. With a few hours work, your house will be ready for the next storm and you will be able to install hurricane shutters in minutes not hours.
Arrived here in 2024 because... Hurricane Milton. Thanks @Richard Vazquez.
People here complaining about the plywood thickness, did it ever cross your mind that he used the thin plywood for demo purposes? The video's topic is about installing the shutters, not the shutter itself.
This makes life much less stressful when hurricanes come along!
That $30 set is now $45 at Lowe's only 2 years later... Thank you for the video! Great info
What's the product name?
More than that, ridiculous
Will those anchors work on wood frame homes and/or cement board siding?
What are these called i dont see a link
Hi sor what are the name for those anchors? Will they work on wood?
Ricardo Vazquez but you said Richard vascues? lol.
What’s the kit called
May want to say the name of the kit
4 anchors per windows is enough?
thats great but how do you get the holes measured perfectly like that
make the holes on the plywood, place it on top of window and mark holes on the wall.
There are clips now that just slide on and push in..
Good kit but 1st put a washer then the wing nut. Trust more secure.
Thanks
That plywood looks awfully thin...definitely not at least 5/8". Main problem I have with plywood is the weight of lifting it up to hang. Okay for smaller windows but gets pretty heavy for picture windows.
You can get shutters cut to size that are much lighter and easier to handle plus they can also withstand a greater impact then the plywood. Plywood is just a less expensive option. I used to use plywood and it would take me and my buddy hours and it be totally exhausting for both of us. Then we would have to go do his house. After I got the shutters it takes less than 45 minutes to do the whole house by myself without even breaking a sweat.
@@MSG685 What material is used for the "lighter and easier to handle" shutters? Do board and batten shutters work as well as plywood?
@@hirc2007 Mine are made of lexan i think. Its like plexiglass which is great because you can still see what is happening outside. They are the same shape as the wavy aluminum ones. My wife got them from a storm shutter company.
@@MSG685 I was considering lexan also for the lightness and the ease of installion for the wife if I'm no longer around...but after watching a 2x4 cannon test..I started looking at hurricane fabric...but kind of pricey and the flex bothers me..might consider building a temporary stud wall in front of the window... attachment between roof eaves and sidewalk and attach the hurricane fabric to the temp structure....boy price on lumber went up...guess I will concentrate on the garage door first.
You said if you can do it anyone can do it but you never did it cause it wasn't shown
He didn’t really show how he did anything
This easy...NO. Misleading...Yes. Firstly how many masonry bits will you go through drilling into concrete? About 1 per 2 windows. Secondly concrete rarely drills "clean" so expect fails to get holes where you desire. Thirdly these anchors are known to become loose and fail regulary. Does this work as a temp solution...yes. Long term expect problems.
I'm not sure about all your points, but i just mounted 12 windows, and each window has 6-8 screws holding it on. I've used one drill bit for all of them. I didn't use this kit. I was using a 3/16 bit.
@@thomas1942 Congrats. Not all concrete is equal. I assume you were drilling in concrete? If so you did well. I made many points on concrete.
PLYWOOD IS NOT HURRICANE PROOF TRUST ME
Can you explain why not?
True, but if the person lack of resources or the local hardware inventory is depleted (aluminum shutters etc.) is better than nothing. I endure CAT 4 (was really a 5 for a few hours before hitting us hard) and is no joke.
3/4 does a pretty good job of keeping things out. Granted, anything bigger then a 4x4 sheet might be a bit heavy for some. Saying that, with the constant barrage of storms these days, I'm ordering a some shudders once this season is over. I'll be using lead machine screw anchors, they should hold up for a couple years.
