@kibblesforme123 You don't have to move the car; the door extends in front of the car a couple of feet. When I had one, at the first tornado warning we'd make sure the car was positioned in the garage to ensure entry (you usually have at least 20 minutes). As for flood, this is only meant for a short time during and shortly after a tornado...it takes quite a bit of rain to flood, and you'd be out by then.
Most cars in the path of the Joplin storm didn't move, so you're unlikely to be crushed...
@BuzzBarber@BuzzBarber If you normally have 20 minutes, why not just go somewhere with an actual basement where you don't have to worry about trying to move a car+collapsed roof off the lid with a $10 wal-mart come-along?
Its a great idea but i see two problems here. #1 how are you going to get in if your fancy ass lexus is parked over it and what if you dont have time to move it? #2 what if there is a flood? You sure as hell cant go in there if thats the case.
You may say you can park a car over it, but then how are you going to get into when the storm comes... you'll have to sacrifice one of your family members to park the car over it.... XD!
@Opaltom Right and I am going to trust my wife to drive the car over a pit that I am in? I will stick to doing it with a ramp. Sure you get on the ground and ants sometimes bite me but I can change my oil in about 15 min I use to wait for oil change greese monkeys to get to me on saturday for hours finally I got tired of that shit and decided to do it my self I have done it myself ever since.
My brother in law built an underground shelter like this in their garage. Here is the problem I see with these underground shelters. If the house falls in, and you are trapped.... the house could catch fire, and you would be roasted like a potato... If there is wide spread damage, it could be a week before anyone gets too you! If there was just a little damage you might be ok, but there has to be alternate escape routes, and these don't have them!
@Lakeside54321 See comment below about the Come-A-Long Jack and the GPS....two of the problems solved right there...as for the fire...well, in the highly unlikely event that your house gets hit by a tornado...AND catches on fire...AND the authorities with the GPS locator dont get to you in time (rain will probably follow a tornado so itll get everything wet to where it cant catch fire) then youre pretty much screwed..but this all happening at once would mean you have some shitty shitty luck!
This is really cool that ya'll do this "Give-Away" thing, I know personally for me my parents never got one because it was too expensive and they figured it would be a better investment to put in a hot tub...and go figure, 3 years after they built our house an F3 hit it...which is why im so adamant on having one now lol.
Yikes, if the house goes down, which it probably would, you would be trapped! Need to get a stand up safe room, or a outdoor shelter or a inground one in the backyard away from the house. Scary
Ya know, after watching this video, and looking at the other storm shelter brands out there, I like this one. I know I said I liked the traditional storm shelter, but this will keep you from having to dig a huge hole in your backyard. Its a shame ya'll dont sell your shelters in TX. If ever and whenever I do buy a house I will definitely be getting a shelter but I cant pay for the shipping from Tennessee!
i dunno, it would be too claustrophobic for me. what happened if you were down there and a car was parked on top of you, or during a tornado warning, if something fell on top of it
@rubberduckiesquack I think thats why storm cellars are traditionally installed in the back part of the backyard or someplace at least 20 feet away from the house, so a wall collapsing on top of it is very unlikely. Sure its unsafe having to run outside to get to it, but if you pay attention and get there early, you could get out there pretty fast and before the major debris starts flying around...the traditional method is better in my personal opinion.
in the worst case scenario we are GPS located so if everything is sitting on top of your shelter we still know where you are. What we do is after installing the shelter we stand on top of it and get your GPS coordinates ans send that into secure-a-shelter they monitor weather 24 hours a day and when a tornado is spotted in your area they notify your police and fire departments that they need to make sure you are out and ok
Was just thinkin the same thing sooo theres a tornado coming but hold on I have to open the garage door to move the car out of the way to get into the shelter thats parked underneath the car...then once the house collapses on top of the shelter I have to be some sort of super human to lift who knows how much weight in debris off of the shelter to get out...Worst idea for a storm shelter ever!!!
actually where we usually install the shelter is only 16 inches in from your garage door that way if you can stand behind your car with your door shut you don't have to move your car to get into the shelter
The shelter comes with a Come-A-Long to open the lid if there is debris on the lid. Many of our customers park their car over their shelter to keep debris off the lid. The goal of this shelter is to live through the tornado. In Memphis we do not have basements so this is the next best option. Thanks for your comments.
@Arbeiter10 So lemme get this straight, in the heat of the moment and the hectic panic while you have seconds to get into your storm shelter, you're going to be able to: 1) Open your garage door, (2) back your car up, (3) Get your family inside, (4) re-Park your car over the shelter door, and (5) Hope you can get under your car and into your shelter before the tornado hits!?! C'mon!! Additionally I dont care how strong of a come-a-long your have, it will not be able to lift your collapsed house!
@Arbeiter10 If the car is over the shelter,you would have to move the car.Then get in the shelter.It would take few seconds for a tornado to level the house.Think about the time to move the car to get to the shelter.
You would have to have a GPS homing devise in your shelter, for the emergency crews to find you and finally dig you out, if the house/basement collapses on the shelter opening.
How do you get in the shelter if your cars over it? That car was pretty low to the ground

this will become a burial grave when the entire house falls on top of it, you'll become trapped.
