Abstract:
A temporary apparatus to prevent damage to structures such as screen enclosures during high winds. The apparatus uses a proprietary bracket specifically designed for target structure members that is permanently attached to the structural member, a ground anchor, which may be any permanent or temporary fixture that may be used as a ground anchor; and any tie-down material or method that may be used to temporarily tie said bracket to said ground anchor. Alternatively, a temporary apparatus to prevent damage to trees or poles during high winds or other vulnerable times. The apparatus uses a proprietary bracket specifically designed for structural members that may be permanently or temporarily attached, and the whole is secured with similar anchors and temporary tie-down materials. The bracket is so designed that it increases its grip on the structural member as wind loading increases.
