STORM CATCHER

This is the ideal way to protect large areas that would normally be too expensive or too hard to protect against a hurricane. For example: patios, covered store front walkways & front entrances.

  

  

The Storm Catcher system consists of a heavy duty woven, geo-synthetic, Poly Urethane Mesh that will let in light and soft breezes but will keep out a hurricane's flying debris, blowing wind and driving rain.

Installation is a snap ... or a buckle

The Storm Catcher system can be installed in a variety of ways. 

  • With Loops & Buckles

The Storm Catcher fabric panels can be made to have loops and straps (made out of the same high strength material that is used for car seat belts) sewn around the outer edges to be used with Stainless Steel mounting  eye-bolts that are attached to your building. The floor eye-bolts can be made removable so that you will not trip over them.

 

  • With Stainless Steel grommets and bolts

Stainless Steel grommets can be placed around the outer edges of the Storm Catcher panel to be used with Stainless Steel mounting bolts (with or without tracks) attached to your building.

 

Setup is a Breeze

Because of its light weight and easy attachment system, it can easily be setup in just a matter of minutes rather than hours. An 8' by 40' section only weighs 20 pounds.

  • First the top strap loops are hooked onto eye-bolts mounted above the opening.

  • The bottom straps with buckles are then secured to the eye-bolts located at the bottom of the opening. 

  • The side straps are secured in the same way. 

Note: The buckles are used to apply a SMALL amount of tension to hold everything in place. 

Can't get much easier.

  

Real World Acid Test

This actual photo of Storm Catcher in action was taken in 2004 during hurricane Charley located in Punta Gorda, FL. If you remember, Punta Gorda suffered extreme damage from a direct hit from hurricane Charley when it roared ashore with its Category 4 (140 mph) winds.

Note that the Storm Catcher fabric is intentionally attached so that it is NOT stretched tight. This allows it to the Storm Catcher material to "give" and dissipate the load to all anchor points when wind pressure and flying objects strike it. 

This photo shows that the patio plants have no idea that there is a 140 mph, Category 4 hurricane just a few feet away. AMAZING !
