Abstract
The invention relates to a flexible storm resistant system for installation in openings of a dwelling. The system consists of hinged support braces that are installed in the lateral walls of an opening. The braces have horizontally extending threaded bolts placed inwardly from their ends. The braces also have retainer pins at each of their ends to be received in bores of the lateral walls. A panel having a periphery larger than the opening is received onto the bolts of the braces and rigid splints having holes corresponding to the location of the bolts are received over the panel and over the bolts to sandwich the panel between the supporting braces and the splints. There are nuts at the ends of the threaded bolts to apply appropriate pressure to the above noted sandwich.
