A system for protecting a window or other opening to a building against hurricane-force winds, including: (a) four or more bolts, screws or rods; (b) four or more wedge brackets, each wedge bracket having a longitudinal slot along its centerline, and an aperture at the base of and continuous with the slot, the aperture having a diameter larger than the diameter of the bolt head, sloped sides along the slot, the slope along the sides decreasing from the top of the slot to the aperture at the bottom of the slot; and (c) one or two rectangular-shaped protective panels, each panel being of slightly larger length and width than the opening to be covered, each panel having an aperture in each corner area. The head of each bolt projects from each corner area of a molding or border along each opening to be covered; each bolt head projects through an aperture of the panel; and each bolt head projects through the longitudinal slot of each bracket, so that the bracket is fastened between the bolt head and an upper surface of the panel, and the panel covers the opening to be protected.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A system for protecting a window or another opening on a building against an adverse weather event with high winds, the system comprising:(a) four or more bolts, screws or rods, each between about two and ten inches in length;(b) four or more wedge brackets, each wedge bracket having a longitudinal slot along a longitudinal centerline of the wedge bracket, and an aperture at the base of the slot and continuous with the slot, the slot having a width smaller than the diameter of the bolt head and greater than the diameter of the bolt stem, the aperture having a diameter larger than the diameter of the bolt head, sloped sides along the slot, the slope along the sides decreasing from a top end of the slot to the aperture at a bottom end of the slot; and(c) at least one rectangular-shaped protective panel, each panel being of slightly larger length and width than the opening to be covered, each panel having an aperture in each corner area; andwherein at least one of the bolts, screws, or rods engages the panel by extending through at least one of the apertures in the panel, and engages at least one of the brackets by extending through the longitudinal slot in the bracket, whereby the bracket is braced against the panel, and the panel is braced against the window or other opening.
