@Marinalane Hi, yes we cut the concrete out of your garage, insert the shelter and pour cement around it to secure. All installations come with a lifetime warranty that is transferable. Have a great day!
@TheJHindman Hi, the storm shelter is installed in your garage so there is very little possibility of water coming in the holes. We also offer a magnetic cover that keeps dust and insects out of the storm shelter. Thank you for your comments
@sadpotter1 Hi, you can always have a safe room installed in your garage. We do it all the time. The storm shelter in the video actually goes in the ground. Have a great day!
I think this is absolutely amazing....would love to have one in my garage!!! ~ Looks like the guys do a great job and don't leave a huge mess to be cleaned up!!!
@qtrhrse66 Hello, you'd definitely need a garage for our storm shelter give-a-way. We do have other shelters, such as safe rooms that can go inside your house.
I have never seen a storm shelter like this! This is exactly what we need to survive the tornado season here in Arkansas. We do not even have a basement, and are left vulnerable during storms. With the Joplin, Mo tornado hitting so close to home, this is something we hold high on our priority list of "must get"... and this would be a blessing to us!
Where can I find more info about this shelter? I'd like to know the advantage/disadvantage of this, compared to other types of shelters (e.g., bolted standing), how far this can be installed away from the garage gate, etc.
Loved to learn more about shelters. After a rash of bad tornadoes through here in the spring, it's definately something on a lot of peoples' minds around here!
I want a storm shelter so bad. I have panic attacks when it storms and I really need something to give me some peace of mind and stop my heart from racing.
Thank you for all your comments. We just announced today that on August 5th, 2011 we are giving away a $100 Visa gift card to 1 lucky who posts a brief (90 seconds), creative, and funny video stating why they want to win a tornado shelter. Good luck!
@SmartSheltersInc - Love these shelters. Would really love to have one! How about the saferooms, do you tihnk they are just as good as the shelters? Because of my fear of small places, I feel like I would feel better in a saferoom, plus if we had my 87 year old mom here too, she can't really get in a shelter undergrond.

@njroy123 Hi Nancy, yes we make safe rooms too. In your particular situation a safe room might be preferred over a tornado shelter. One thing to think about is if your home is hit by a tornado the debris would be hitting the safe room and the noise would be intense. All in all, a safe room is better than no protection at all. Did you enter our shelter contest? If not, tomorrow is the last day to enter. Good luck.
Nice work quality work !
