boarded windows
Plywood-covered glass panes
Windows covered with boards, typically plywood or planks nailed over the glass.
Buildings get boarded up when abandoned, condemned, or threatened by storms: The hurricane warning sent residents scrambling to board up their windows.
Boarded windows signal vacancy, decay, or danger—a neighborhood full of them suggests economic decline or disaster aftermath.
