Abstract: A storm shutter for protecting building windows from severe weather. A single size storm shutter fits a wide range of window sizes and configurations and can be easily installed in less than a minute by one person of ordinary strength and skill using no tools of any kind. No assembly is required and there is no damage to home left behind. The shutter includes a foldable hinged panel for covering a window's exterior. A pair of ordinary ratchet tie-down mechanisms have a strap affixed to each end. Each strap then threads through the panel's exterior surface via four slots, wraps 180 degrees around a roller and then threads through the center of an inset track to ultimately connect to a shoe. The shoes, which hold the shutter solidly in place by gripping a window frame with great force, are snugly, yet slidably fitted within the track. The shutter folds to allow easy transport and storage and a flexible exterior handle is provided to enable easy handling.
