The 2020 Hurricane Season Predicted to be Active
As the covid-19 situation absorbs all of our attention and efforts, it might be a good idea for those along the eastern coastal part of the United States to keep a heads up because the Atlantic Hurricane season officially begins June 1 and 2020 is predicted to be a higher than average year. This does not guarantee that it will be a rough year, but there is a probability. With this in mind, it is wise to be prepared for whatever you can beforehand including having Hurricane Tarps available if substantial storms do hit your area.
A variety of tarps are available on the market that deliver both preventative protection and a shield from further issues upon initial storm damage. Materials such as Poly (polyethylene), Vinyl, and Mesh are common covers used for these purposes. They are durable and easy to handle when covering important structures and materials to guard from the hazards of wind, rain, and pests. One of the main benefits of these tarps is the waterproof qualities since water damage is usually one the major issues.
What are Hurricane Tarps?
Hurricane Tarps are a basic description for tarps that help cover and safeguard your roof, other structures, or supplies from storm issues. They are light and strong. The stereotypical Hurricane Tarps are the blue poly tarps that are made from layered plastic fabric with grommets located around the perimeter for tie down purposes. These are the large blue tarps that you will often see on the roofs following damage, during repair, or new construction.
Preventative Measures
As a first line of defense, Hurricane Tarps can help guard against wind, flying debris, and rain from hurricane and severe storm conditions. Properly attached to the structures, these covers can deflect and prevent damage. Many tarps are mildew and rot resistant lending themselves to be applied for longer periods of time especially for vacation homes, rentals, second homes, or vacant locations.
Limit Additional Damage
Unfortunately, damage is going to occur in some way or another form severe weather. An important function to do following a destructive event is to cover and secure the area and prevent further damage from wind, rain, or what may find its way in such as insects, pests, and even people. Often overlooked, it is the damage that happens after the initial hit that causes the greatest losses when not protected.
Stock Up
In areas of the United States that are in the hurricane zone or susceptible to other severe weather events such as tornados, it is always a good idea to have some tarps in storage in case you need them. Once a storm hits, the locally stocked tarps are usually quickly depleted.
