Revolutionary Net Protects Homes, Boats, & Trailers in Hurricanes

British Columbia, Canada. July 25, 2005. According to Newsweek Magazine, the hurricanes that churned across Florida last summer killed 117 people, destroyed 25,000 homes, damaged another 255,000 and caused an estimated $42 billion in property damage. With this year’s already active hurricane season underway, it’s critical that citizens do everything they can to protect their home and property. The good news is now they can with a revolutionary new product -- The HurricaneNet.

Byrun Fox, of TheHurricaneNet.com, has invented this system specifically to protect homes and trailers in high wind storms. Inspired by the sight of a helicopter lifting a load slung in a net, the HurricaneNet covers homes, motor homes, trailers, boats, etc., with a custom high strength net. Once anchored in place, the extra downward force reduces or eliminates damage caused by the vacuum created on the leeward side of a roof. The net also extends down the sides of a building to catch flying debris before it can cause impact damage. Made of a light strong ultra-violet resistant space age material, it is easy to install and take down after the storm.

Those numerous blue tarps covering roofs in the hardest hit areas are easily blown away, but the HurricaneNet affords extra protection from new storms, thus preventing further destruction. Simply placing the net over damaged roof tiles as a secondary source of protection holds remaining tiles or shingles in place. The added protection of the Hurricane Net over the tarp gives the beleaguered homeowner peace of mind until more formal repairs can be made.

Fox explained that, "Once a roof has been compromised, the integrity of the whole structure is threatened. The inevitable rain that follows a windstorm can make even a small hole a source of considerable damage. In addition, repairmen are almost impossible to find after a storm."

Sales and marketing of The Hurricane Net are conducted through TheHurricaneNet.com Foundation, a non-profit organization. For ordering information and free tips on preparing for a hurricane, go to http://www.thehurricanenet.com/.
