The description for the picture says they are connected to big burried concrete blocks, so likely the house is gone before these straps get loose.

Yeah but if a tree slams into the strap and breaks it

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Those straps aren’t going to break.

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Look man I'm not a sciencologist but if a big ol tree smacks into that strap maybe the strap doesn't break but the metal tie downs? Idk man doesn't seem like it would work out well for the house or straps

A 2" wide straps is supposed to fail at about 10,000 pounds/4500kg of static load. The nylon strap will fail long before the metal hardware does, and the roof is going to fail before either of those do. If a large enough object fell on the strap, the most probable scenario is that the strap would end up acting like a wire cutter to the roof.

It sounded kinda like the "welcome to Costco, I love you" from Idiocracy and that character has the best vibe.

You could use those straps to lift a large tree up in the air with a crane

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I need an after picture of this house stat

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It'll trampoline off into the neighbor's house.

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It might break the roof. Those straps are nearly as wide as that truck's brake lights, i don't see them snapping so easily.

homie these straps are probably rated for a tree falling on it lol

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ok but what about 20 trees and a lot of debris?

ur house is probably part of the debris by then lmao

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
