[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2490649, member: 2550"] Let me throw a question into this thread. We (wife and I) are thinking about an above ground shelter...in the garage. But....being this is a new home..and even though its a very nice home...builders cut corners. How do..or..how would I know if my garage slab foundation is strong enough to hold the bolts on an above ground shelter...DURING A TORNADO? ?? I understand the need for hearing protection in an above ground. What concerns me is the foundation buckeling..in turn breaking and releasing the bolts that hold down the shelter. Can the shelter company do a core/drill sample to see how deep the concrete is to make sure it can hold the shelter during a storm?? [/QUOTE]
