Removable fasteners in wood

Hey guys, I had a question about mounting stuff into exterior wood. I was going to ghettorig some window protection grates (for hurricanes) out of some scrap wood panels I have. My question is what's the best way to mount these so that:

>Whatever mount I use doesn't rust
>Whatever mount I use doesn't rot
>Whatever mount I use is reusable

I was thinking of just screwing L shaped stainless steel (316) brackets onto the sides, but then wasn't sure what fastening solution to use to actually put the whole grate assembly into the wood frame. Any ideas?

101 ways of making sure the neighborhood hates your spic ass.

Number one, install iron bars over windows.

>just install plywood over your windows when the need arises. Or better yet get better home insurance to have your windows replaced for free if something does kool-aid threw them.

Maybe if you didn't have spic level reading comprehension you wouldve noticed that the project is for removable wooden panels during hurricanes.

No metal is going to be a perfect solution, even galvanised or stainless can be affected by some types of timber, but your best bet for both minimising timber to metal contact and anchoring the fasteners as well as possible is to use epoxy. Go to the West System Epoxy site and read their stuff about embedding fasteners.

stainless plates with a hole for a nut welded to the backside(to be left installed). holes around the nut so you can secure it to the side of the building. use a router to have clearance behind the nut. then mount your wood covers to the window with bolts to the stainless plate

That's pretty much the exact system I was thinking about. Does it make sense to install some sort of internally threaded sleeve for the bolt in the window frame or is that unnecessary in your opinion?

>>1207545
Also why not just glue washers around the bolt holes in the frame instead of paying for bracket plates?

that's the point of the welded nut on the backside of the plate

>>1207554
and yeah, big washers with holes for mounting screws on the perimeter would be easier than some custom cut plates

As a follow up to this do you know where I can find a washer with ears for screw holes or a 3 holed bracket? I'm having a lot of trouble.

>Burglar bars
>Fasteners on the outside

Even if you weld them they can easily use a crow bar to overcome the strength of the concrete from the outside. Where as fastening on the inside makes it much more difficult

If the hurricane figures out how to remove screws, we're in a whole lot of trouble.

sorry no idea, i'd probably diy it

id buy fender washers (they have larger diameters for smaller inner holes) and nuts, and make a jig to do the screw hole pattern
