The roof-pressing assemblies are arrayed on the roof from one edge of the roof to another edge of the roof. Each roof-pressing assembly includes a roof-pressing portion which has a top side and a bottom side. One or more cable locking assemblies project upward from the top side of the roof-pressing portion. First cables are connected between neighboring roof-pressing assemblies. Second cable assemblies are provided, and each second cable assembly has a first end and a second end. The first end of each second cable assembly is connected to one of the roof-pressing assemblies located at an edge of the roof. Ground-engaging assemblies are provided, and each ground-engaging assembly is connected to a second end of a second cable assembly. The roof-pressing portions may be in the form of plates or L-shaped brackets. Crosspiece members may be placed between the L-shaped brackets and the roof. Each of the second cable assemblies includes a turnbuckle assembly for adjusting cable tension. Each of the ground-engaging assemblies includes a handle portion and a spade portion. Roof-apex-covering assemblies are provided, and each roof-apex-covering assembly is connected between a pair of the roof-pressing assemblies. Each roof-apex-covering assembly includes a pair of roof-pressing members and a hinge assembly connected between the pair of roof-pressing members.
