ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for strengthening building structure against hurricanes and wind storms. Several support beams are removably mounted adjacent to the building structure. A net member is positioned over the roof of the building structure. Cables are used to interconnect the support beam members and to keep the net in place. Anchorage assemblies keep support beam members in place. Tension adjusting devices are used to tighten the cables against the structure being protected.
