The garage door is the largest opening in your home.  For this reason the garage door must be protected against hurricane and storm damage. The development of the Wind Load post system is designed to do just that. It is also designed to be easily installed and removed when needed.  Test results show when a garage door blows in, it allows your home to pressurize and this leads to catastrophic failure of your roof system, hence destroying your home during a hurricane.

The post system will usually have two posts per door, with brackets installed into the header above the door.  (This must be structural with a minimum embedment of 2 1//4”).  The post will drop into holes in the concrete floor with pins and will attach to the door.

The Wind Load system will stop any deflection (positive and negative) in the door and will get the door to a 146 mph rating.  The Wind Load post system that Stormy Hurricane Shutters uses is rated to meet Miami/Dade code.  Tests reports are available upon request.  This system combined with our hurricane shutter systems will give you peace of mind that you have total storm protection for home.
