Developed at Clemson University Department of Civil Engineering’s Wind Load Test Facility (WLTF), the just-released "Holding On to Your Roof" video series shows homeowners steps they can take to increase their roof’s strength against high winds.

Graduate student Ed Sutt takes the viewer step-by-step through the retrofit process on a demonstration roof.  Each video begins with a structural test that explains the forces acting on the roof and why each of the recommendations improves the roof’s strength.  Next, Ed demonstrates the techniques, gives helpful hints, and provides detailed cost estimates for each job.

Homeowners who do not plan to do the retrofit themselves can watch these videos to learn basic principles of roof retrofit—allowing them to better communicate with a roofing contractor.  Each video costs $8.50 and comes  with an accompanying brochure detailing the specifications and procedures outlined on film.
