What Does Wind Load Speed Compare To?
| WIND SPEED | COMPARABLE EVENT | CATEGORY |
|---|---|---|
| 74-95 mph | Strong tropical storm | Category 1 Hurricane |
| 96-110 mph | Moderate hurricane winds | Category 2 Hurricane |
| 111+ mph | Major hurricane | Category 3+ Hurricane |
StackWaIl's performance is on par with conditions seen in a Category 2 hurricane—making it an ideal choice for areas that experience Santa Ana winds, mountain gusts, or coastal storms. The 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires in Southern California were driven by extreme Santa Ana winds exceeding 80 mph, reaching Category 1 hurricane strength.
Bottom Line for Homeowners & Commercial Properties:
StackWall is engineered to stand strong against extreme winds—including those seen in recent Santa Ana wind-driven wildfires. Rated for 110+ mph, it offers hurricane-level protection without shifting, cracking, or failing—ideal for high-wind zones or anyone looking for lasting peace of mind.
