Hurricane ties are typically made from galvanized steel or stainless steel to resist corrosion and prolong their lifespan even in humid or coastal areas prone to high levels of salt in the air.According to a roofing study reported by Treasure Coast Newspapers, an adequately reinforced and maintained roof can last 50-70% longer in a storm than an unprotected roof. That’s how much of an edge hurricane straps can offer in a hurricane. The basic operation is that these components create a structural load connection necessary for transferring forces from the top of the building to the foundation. This enhances the structure’s ability to withstand upwind forces that can blow off the roof. custody.

In an open roof, you will need to locate the joints between the diagonal beams and the horizontal ones in the wall. Depending on how well they align, you could need one or two straps for each joint.

This system gives the roof greater resistance against the upward wind force that could lift it off or the lateral force that could damage it in a hurricane. When choosing hurricane ties for your home, there are several options available in the market. One popular choice is the Simpson Strong-Tie H1 Hurricane Tie, made of 18-gauge galvanized steel. This tie is highly regarded for its durability and strength. It works by securing the truss or rafter on two sides and utilizing four screws to connect the roof and walls, effectively resisting uplift forces.

In Conclusion

consequential loss, that you may incur as a result of the non-availability of any item on any date. Installing hurricane ties on the outside of the walls offers convenience and strength. This method allows for secure connections via rafter tails and utilizes the wall’s sheathing for added support. Moreover, exterior installation can help prevent “top plate roll,” which occurs when high winds cause the wall plates to pull free from their nails. Unlike the first option, this hurricane tie works on one side of a rafter or truss for moderate wind protection. These ties offer a continuous load path by which the load can travel from the roof to the wall plates.
