PlyRods (Patent Pending# 60/923,523) are strong flexible pultruded rods designed to retain storm panels or plywood over an exposed openings such as windows to a dwelling or commercial facility. They have been tested and are simpler and easier to apply and cheaper than a popular clip device available at many builder supply stores today. They go up in under 2 minutes the first time and only seconds each following occasion. PlyBars (Patent Pending # 60/842,823) are for openings such as patio doors and large picture windows. They are a telescoping and locking device with special male end plugs that insert into predrilled holes and hold a panel in place during a storm. It works on recessed and flush window casings. Anyone who owns a business or a home on any coastal plain in the world, this is the least expensive way to go and the most reliable. For a home builder, there is no better gift or incentive to a home buyer along the coasts than to offer this kind of protection in fact it would be a service to their community that would not go unnoticed. The price for both inventions is negotiable. A license agreement is also a possibility. Dick Marksberry 1115 Lake Shore Dr. Pearland, Texas 77581 Ph: 281-482-4601
