Hurricane Protection for your Garage
Vertical Bracing System

Hurricane Depot

The garage door is potentially the largest and weakest opening...

Production Information

• Florida Building Code approved (FL2364); exceeds ASTM E330 and SBCCI retrofit wind speed standards.
• Patented with a unique telescoping design that enables the brace to fit almost all garage doors.
• Brackets attach to hinges to keep the door from blowing in or being sucked out and are adjustable to permit the brace to be installed on doors with horizontal braces.
• The brace is anchored into the wall above the garage door, into the garage floor, and to each hinge, providing the necessary reinforcement of the garage door tracks.
• Made of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum that is lightweight yet incredibly strong; each brace weighs less than 15 pounds.
• Selected by the University of Florida for their Windstorm Training Center hurricane-resistant model homes.
• Does not remain permanently attached to the garage door.

Production Benefits

• Provides protection against up to 180 mph winds (dependent upon the quality, condition type of material used in the fabrication of your garage door).
• Much less expensive than hurricane-resistant garage doors and garage door shutters.
• More effective than retrofitted horizontal garage door braces.
• Can be set up in three minutes or less should a hurricane threaten.
• Does not attach permanently to the garage door; stores inconspicuously and conveniently out of the way.
• Does not require a building permit for purchase or installation.
• May qualify you for some type of homeowners insurance discount.
• Fits almost all garage doors.
• Lightweight, requires no maintenance.
• Reinforces the garage door and provides an anchor and support in addition to the garage door tracks.
