Re: ? - Using plywood and barrel bolts for shutters?

I'm not sure about using the 'heavy' vs the standard. The prices you quote would definately drive up the cost.
What about doubling up on the number of standard bolts. Cheaper and more secure.

You might want to buy longer screws (1"-1.5") to fasten the bolts. The ones that come with the standard bolts are a little on the 'cheesy' side when it comes to Hurricane protection.
Just my two cents...and probably what I would do if I put some up here.
