STEEL STRONG SHELTERS
Protecting lives a storm shelter at a time
Key features of Steel Strong Shelters:
-
All shelters are made of 1/4” steel, which is the magic number that Mother Nature can't penetrate.
-
We weld in 2" x 2" steel angle along the top and bottom corners of each shelter for additional reinforcement.
-
Anchoring holes are drilled every 12 inches, adding grip security. FEMA only recommends holes to be drilled every 24 inches.
-
Our shelters are anchored into concrete with 5/8” X 5” wedge anchors for stability added stability and holding strength.
-
The height of our shelters is 78 inches, which allows them to fit under standard garage doors.
-
A standard unit is equipped with two rows of ventilation holes covered with 1/4” deflectors for repelling wind and rain.
-
Heavy duty industrial handles are installed on the doors of our shelters. They are also made to accommodate a padlock.
-
For added security and door stability, three 31” solid steel slide bars are integrated into inside of the door of the shelter
-
The shelter's door opens to the inside to prevent occupants from being trapped by debris that could obstruct the door opening to the outside. A door opening to the outside is still an option, but it would be necessary to install an escape hatch which would incur additional charges.
-
Shelter installation typically takes about an hour to complete.
