No experience with that one but had a flat-top shelter installed by Red Dirt Septic a year ago and couldn't be happier with the product or the service. The even put me at the head of the line when they had a cancellation because they knew I was postponing building a workshop until after the shelter was installed.

Rat Terrier had a something (safe room? safe? ) survive the Moore tornado, maybe he can chime in.

I have a ground zero underground shelter in my garage. I am happy with the installation and product. Glad I haven't had to use it yet. It's a lot of money for something I might never use, but is a must now for me with a little one around, even though I hope I never have I to use it.
I do have to vacuum mine out twice a year cause of leaves and bugs. No biggie though. |

We have a Ground Zero shelter in garage as well. Supposed to seat 12 though I have no idea how that would happen. We try to clean it out once a month or so. Keep extra water and food under the stairs.
It's very well built and install only took 3 hours. I was very impressed with the process. |

Having survived a couple tornadoes and not being able to afford a shelter I can say any money you guys spent on shelters is money well spent, even if you never have to use it, just in peace of mind. I don't do well during storms anymore and with no place to hide, it sucks.

We had a tornado in 1970, did substantial damage to our store building, blew the glass out of my car, killed two people at the Buick dealer just one block away. Got a hidey hole at home, split level home, basement is underground on 3 sides, not perfect but not too bad. |

I've actually considered that but I couldn't get a foot deep without ending up in the ER. The next place we end up will either be out of tornado territory or have an underground shelter. I'd like to have one of those underground houses, that would be sweet and easy on the power bills.

We recently had a "Storm Safe" shelter installed--recommend them! $3400 for a medium (5.5' tall by 7' long by 5' wide).
