Just had a new Storm Shelter installed

[cinco]

I have a Family Safe room as well. I cannot tell you what a good feeling it is the first time you need it! The feeling of being secure is a vast difference from grabbing everyone, hiding in the closet, with me against the door holding it closed with a dog leash! It is worth its weight in gold.

I was impressed how the install crew manuvered the beast (mine is 4'x8') into the corner of the garage using schedule 40 pvc pipe for rollers.

I eventually want to pipe in AC/Heating duct to the top of the unit. It gets aweful hot in there.

This is us ... Our garage can't hold one more piece of "stuff" ... LOL

That should answer the question.

That should answer the question.

if you swung 100,000 pounds into the side of that box it may survive but i doubt the foundation and anchor bolts do. I do know that there was a jim giles saferoom in joplin that made it through. im just skeptical about paying 5 grand for one of those or 3500 for an underground one. not trying to whore up your thread.

They had one that survived the May 1999 tornado that hit OKC. The Hilti bolts hold an ungodly amount of weight and are spread out to distribute that weight.

looks cool, but i still want to be underground when a twister is rolling my way.

I like it, I want to build one in my shop, but I'll be going bugger than 3x5, I'd like at least 8x10 just so we could put plenty of stuff in there

Well as I said my in-laws paid for it so we got the size they bought us. 3X5 actually works well because the left side of the shelter works perfect for placing my rifles and ammo, it's nice to know I can lock it all up whenever we go out of town.
