Alternatives To Boarding Windows For Hurricanes


Which ones are you guys aware of?

If there were a product that was lightweight, translucent, required no screwing or nailing, left no holes, was so easy to install/take down an old lady could do it, and can withstand a 2x4 at 140mph, and was affordable to the average homeowner, would you buy it?

Sorry man, I am in no way advertising, simply getting some opinions on whether or not there is a market for a product.
