Abstract: A storm panel mounting system which uses a mounting bracket with sliding upper and lower rails is secured directly onto a wall. The stud bracket slidably attach to the mounting bracket allows some lateral movement of the attachment bolts which permits variances in the location of the apertures in the storm panel. Further, it provides a decorative cover that conceals the attachment bracket when the storm panels are not being used. A stud bracket slidably mounts on the upper and lower rails of the mounting bracket. The stud bracket has at least one bolt extending outward from the wall which is used to secure a storm panel with wing nuts. When not needed, the stud bracket is removed and a decorative cover replaces it. The decorative cover is also mounted on the mounting bracket by sliding it over the upper and lower rails.
