ABSTRACT:
One system of mobile home (or other structure) wind protection includes a channel below ground level around the structure, the channel including a lid around its perimeter adapted to open and close. Tie-down anchor bolts are spaced along the channel around the structure. Tie-down cables extend from the roof of the structure into the channel, each cable being removably connected to one of the anchor bolts. A storm shield secured to the tie-down cables likewise extends from the roof of the structure and into the channel below ground level. Another system includes a storage channel below ground level on one side of the structure, with ground anchors spaced along it supporting a ratcheted cable windup mechanism below ground level, all covered by a housing, and an anchor channel below ground level along the opposite side of the structure, with ground anchors spaced along it. A tie-down cable extends from each of the ground anchors in the storage channel, up and over the structure to a corresponding one of the ground anchors in the anchor channel. A storm shield secured to the tie-down cables likewise extends from below ground in the storage channel to below ground in the anchor channel.
