Protect your structure with the overload release system
For wind-breaks, bird-nets, shade-houses and hail canopies
Storms are unpredictable. There is always a chance that a storm will be too strong for any building.
WeatherSolve Structures removes a lot of this risk with a unique overload release system. The system is based on stress-rated Ultra-clips that are spaced according to the design load of the structure.
This patented clip has been developed for situations where reliability is important. It has been extensively tested and used in situations as extreme as South Florida hurricanes; so it’s strength in a range of situations can be accurately predicted.
Controlling the strength of the connection between the fabric and the main cables allows designs to be optimized so that the connection will generally break loose before structural damage to the support structure occurs.
The strength of the 3/8" clip is around 1.4kN (315lb) under static load. Under impact load it is particularly reliable compared to other snap-together types of clip. This is very important for gusty wind conditions.
The arch of the original clip handles cables up to 3/8". A new clip handles cables up to 1/2" in diameter.
The head of the clip has been designed for ease of insertion into the fabric, and for a positive “click” when installed so that there is no doubt when the job is properly done.

The sketches below show the 3 stages of the overload release mechanism in action.
