This definitely deserves a congratulations, and certainly has my attention as I have seen lots of hurricanes living in Florida.

I will be keeping my eye on this product.

Does this product fasten on the outside of the house?

Yes, grommets on the product locate over Panelmates (which are anchored in headers and footers) and are held in place with wing nuts. The zipper permits deployment from inside the home, eliminating the need for ladder- or rooftop climbing.

The fabric weighs only 1.5 ounces per sq/foot but is about to be certified for Wind Zone Five (170mph).

That, sir, is damn impressive. Great recognition
Can we make airplanes out of that stuff?

I read the documentation very carefully. Didn't see any mention of Mister Moo. I assume they use some kind of nickname for you at work?

Name is on the fabric, fabric lamination, end-use and zipper-for-egress patents or patent applications. Search "US Patent Orifice Mister Moo" and something will turn up.

We're more maritime than aviation oriented for most applications. Exception - The fabric is used on the non-pressurized (A)C130 Spooky or Sprectre gunships; it forms a seal in the fuselage opening where the cannon protrudes. Interesting stresses on fabric in that spot. It's windy out there.

Anything more than 170 would be catestrohpic.

More than likely, I will be shopping for these. I probably need to read further to find out if they are available in my area.

Ironically, I was about to install brackets for pre cut plywood.
