Planning a Storm Shelter the Right Way

A storm shelter needs to be designed and constructed for its intended protective purpose. Depending on the project, this may include engineered structural components, anchoring, impact protection, and a properly rated door and entry system.

Where applicable, we can work toward recognized storm shelter standards such as FEMA guidance and ICC 500 requirements. We believe in being upfront about what a shelter is designed and rated to withstand.
