How to Tape Windows For A Hurricane

Hurricanes can be extremely damaging to your home. It is wise to do everything you can to protect your home before the hurricane hits. Taping your windows is an important step in protecting your home. Here is how to do it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Masking Tape

1. Get a roll of masking tape. You will want to use a wide roll of tape instead of the thin type. Any thick type of tape will do, but you need to think about which tape will be the easiest to peel off the windows. Masking tape is usually quite easy to remove.

2. Outline your windows with the tape by putting it along the outer edges of the windows. Do this for the outside side of the windows.

3. Once the outer edges are outlined, put a big "X" of masking tape on the outside of the window.

4. Do this for every window in the house. A hurricane could damage any and every window so it is best not to leave any without tape.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the inside part of your windows to be twice as safe.
