ABSTRACT:
A roof stabilization system for securing the roof of buildings to prevent loss during storms and other natural disasters. A plurality of metal bands are provided which extend across the roof of the building and down the sides to be secured in or near the foundation of the building. For installation in new constructions utilizing footers, an anchor is embedded in the foundation and extends through the sill. The metal bandings are attached to the anchors between the foundation and the sill. For installation in new structures which do not utilize footer, for example, buildings with cinderblock walls, the anchors are embedded into the foundation and extend through the bottom of the wall. In this case, the metal bandings are secured to the anchors between the wall and the foundation. For installation onto existing structures, footers are buried below the ground level running the length of the building with anchors embedded therein which extend above ground. In such a case, strong back supports are provided on the roof to provide additional support and stability. For temporary installation, nylon webbing can be utilized, extending both crosswise and lengthwise across the construction.
