Number of Roof Slopes

• A hipped roof, which is characterized by slopes
  on all four sides, is built to better withstand
  hurricane-force winds. Install a thirty-degree
  roof to shield your household from destruction.

Take Advantage of Aerodynamic Elements

• A central shaft can be used to connect your
  roofs ridge to the internal area where the
  depression is the highest. The central shaft can
  keep pressure levels balanced and minimize the
  negative impact high winds have on your roof.

The Shape of Your Home

• Homes that have a square floor plan and a
  multi-panel roof tend to hold up better against
  strong winds. Octagon or hexagon-shaped home
  floor plans, have even lower wind loads due to
  the extra support.

Be Proactive to Avoid Wreaking Havoc on Your
Home

• Over time, damages will progress until youre
  facing full structural failure and the likelihood
  of an entire collapse.

6
Your Roofs Overhangs

• Overhangs are vulnerable to being forced upward
  by strong gusts of wind and may lead to complete
  roof failure. Areas prone to hurricanes should
  ensure the length of overhangs are no greater
  than twenty inches.

Enduring Forceful Winds

• Wind forces associated with hurricanes tend to
  blow upwards, which weakens and eventually
  disarms your roofs defenses. Weve learned that
  connecting roofs to the walls is extremely
  important.
