What are Steel Manufactured Storm Shelters?

Our shelters are known by many names — safe room, steel tornado shelter, above-ground storm shelter, and more — but the product is the same: a steel manufactured structure designed and tested to protect the occupants from tornadoes. These shelters are installed in garages, homes, and businesses as an above-ground shelter from storms.

Do Above-Ground Storm Shelters Actually Work?

Yes. Conventional wisdom has said that you have to go underground to escape a tornado, but building an in-ground structure is costly, and many homes don’t have basements. In 1998, FamilySAFE set out to design a steel welded safe room that would provide cost-effective tornado protection that could easily be added to homes across the nation.

Not only have our storm shelters been tested at Texas Tech since we began manufacturing them, but we have also had many shelters go through storms and tornadoes and protect their families, including tornadoes rated EF5 – the strongest possible ranking for tornadoes. Even when the home was destroyed, the shelters never budged.

There are many storm shelter companies in the business now, but FamilySAFE Shelters has been here from the beginning. Since 1998 we have been designing, building, and improving our steel storm shelters to continually bring you the highest quality shelter.

Not only are our shelters fully engineered with stamped drawings, but all of our above-ground shelter designs are also impact tested at Texas Tech for strength and durability during tornado conditions. In addition, our storm shelters also meet or exceed all safety criteria set for steel shelters by FEMA, making our storm shelters eligible for many state and city rebate programs.

All of our above-ground storm shelters are wheelchair accessible. Contact a dealer for more information and pricing.
