For Hurricane prone areas, storm shutters of some form are a crucial security component for securing your home ahead of an oncoming storm. But often the price of professionally manufactured storm shutters can be cost prohibitive, often running into thousands of dollars for custom sizing and manufacturing, and often taking periods of weeks or months to order and receive.
Enter a budget solution: Plylox. These handy spring adapters for simple plywood allow you to take plywood that you can custom cut yourself and insert these into your window openings for most home windows to securely protect the glass from breakage by flying debris into the home. These are relatively inexpensive and are readily available AHEAD OF THE STORM from most home supply stores such as The Home Depot or Lowes, though best to purchase these well ahead of the storm because like so many items needed when a storm is predicted to hit run off the shelves ahead of time.
Plylox are available from a number of sources from Amazon to your local home supply store and run roughly $2 each in packs of 20 and are available for 1/2″, 5/8″, or 3/4″ plywood, though not all sizes maybe available at your local store.
