SECURE YOUR SHELTER: TARPS, PLYWOOD & FASTENERS

As we move deeper into the hurricane season, protecting your home’s structure becomes critical. The high winds, heavy rains, and flying debris of a storm can cause severe damage if your roof, windows, or walls aren’t secured. That’s why this week we focus on shelter protection supplies that can make the difference between minor damage and major loss.

Why It Matters

When a hurricane strikes, the roof is often the first line of defense. Once compromised, everything inside becomes vulnerable. Similarly, unprotected windows and doors can lead to dangerous breaches. Preparing now means you won’t be scrambling when the weather alerts go out.

Essential Supplies to Stock Up On

Heavy-Duty Tarps – Perfect for covering damaged roofs, sealing leaks, or protecting equipment and furniture. Available in blue, silver/green, and brown at RCIP, in multiple sizes to suit any emergency need.

Plywood Sheets – Still the gold standard for boarding up windows and doors before a storm. Strong, reliable, and easy to install with basic tools.

Nails, Screws & Fasteners – Don’t overlook the small things! Secure fixings ensure your plywood and tarps stay in place when the winds pick up.

Pro Tip

Keep these items stored together in a designated spot so you can act quickly. Remember, when the peak of the hurricane season hits, demand for tarps and plywood skyrockets. Buy early, and stay ahead.
