A shutter apparatus for protection of a window mountable on a window frame comprising: an upper bracket having a top side, a first side, and a second side, said first side and said second side being connected to said top side, said first and second sides being spaced sufficiently apart to accept a protective shutter and being sufficiently long and sufficiently close together to securely retain said protective shutter between them and being sufficiently strong to hold said protective shutter against perpendicular forces exerted against said protective shutter, said first side having first and second faces, said first face being flared away from said second side to facilitate placement of said protective shutter within said upper bracket, said upper bracket having guide means to facilitate mounting said upper bracket on an upper portion of said window frame, said upper bracket being mountable on said window frame with said upper bracket opening downward; a lower bracket having a bottom side, a first side and a second side, said first side and said second side being connected to said bottom side, said first and said second sides being spaced sufficiently apart to accept a protective shutter and being sufficiently long and sufficiently close together to securely retain said protective shutter between them and being sufficiently strong to hold said protective shutter against perpendicular forces exerted against said protective shutter, said first side having first and second faces, said first face being flared away from said second side to facilitate placement of said protective shutter within said lower bracket, said lower bracket having a guide means to facilitate mounting of said lower bracket on a lower portion of said window frame, said lower bracket mountable on said window frame with said lower bracket opening upwardly, said lower bracket having an inner face and an outer face and and adjustable support member attached at an acute angle to said outer face of said bottom side for adjusting the orientation of said lower bracket relative to said upper bracket; a shutter comprised of a rigid material and a frame, said shutter being sized to fit securely within both said upper and lower brackets and being sufficiently strong and shatter resistant to protect said windows.
