Boarding windows without Plylox.

Someone please help me. My Fiance is at Lowes and he thinks he can get some plywood, but they have no plylox.

He isn't sure how to attach them to the windows, please give me ideas....and be specific.

Thanks.

If you have a CBS (concrete block stucco) home, use 3/16" TapCon (blue) concrete fasteners along with a large fender washer. 2 1/2" or longer is the right length.

If the home is frame construction, use 3/16 or 1/4" lag bolts (also 2 1/2" long) with the fender washer.

Thanks Tampa Bay, I will tell him as soon as I can get through, cell phones are already sketchy.

You are very welcome.

Have him pick up a tube of caulk to seal the holes with later.

And good luck to you and yours.

I cut plywood to fit the opening and then held it in place with 2x4 attached with tapcons .

Not only was he able to get plenty of plywood but a Truck rolled up with Plylox too!!! This was after waiting for four hours.

We were only able to board downstairs, and are making our preparations to leave within 12 hours...

Thanks you guys!!
