Abstract
Systems and methods container for the protection of exterior surfaces of buildings and other outdoor structures are disclosed. The proposed systems are configured to offer a mesh-based covering that can be installed on surfaces such as roofs to safeguard the exterior surface from damage caused by hailstorms or other debris. The mesh covering can be colored to match the coloring of the roof surface and/or may be substantially transparent or comprise a material thin enough to remain imperceptible when viewed from a distance. Consumers can order the mesh material to match the appearance type of their homes. The mesh covering can be spaced apart from the roof surface to ensure the impact of hail does not affect the roof.
