Default Reinforce Roof Against Falling Trees?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Cut the trees down. At some point you'll prolly have to anyway.


Also, schedule the funerals for your parents and wife. At some point
you'll prolly have to anyway.,

Neighbor's insurance company refused to renew his policy until he had two trees removed.


Steel beams enbedded in concrete, at least 10 feet deep. Have these
vertical steel beams extend at least 5 feet higher than your roof.
Place one beam into the ground every six feet around your entire house.
Then weld more steel beams horizontally across the top of all these
vertical beams. Also have horizontal beams extend across the roof at 6
foot intervals in both directions. Apply several more at 45deg angles on
each corner, crossing the roof. To be even more secure, have more beams
at an angle from the top down to the ground, and sink them deep into the
ground with several tons of concrete. Be sure to run more beams in a
horizontal manner, around the entire house every 6 to 8 feet from the
ground to the roof.

What you'll have when complete is a huge solid steel cage around your
house that should handle even the heaviest tree.

As for the guy who said to cut the trees down, please remove your sexual
organs. At some point you'll prolly have to anyway.
