About Us

• **Frequently Asked Questions** **How much do they cost?** $3500.00 + $1/mi from our home market of NE Oklahoma, up to 350 miles. No surprises. That amount includes not only the delivery and installation, but the anchors, anti-fatigue mat, special chair, lamp, fan, batteries, wall padding, exit tool, NSSA Seal, Certificate and registration and even OK sales tax, no matter what the tax rate in your city. We give to-the-penny quotes for deliveries Nationwide. **Is this big enough for us?** Many families of four and five are purchasing these from me though it is designed for up to three adults. "It's all we need for the short time we'll be in it" is a typical thing I hear. If you do need a larger safe room, there are many good suppliers in this industry. Please contact me, and I will give you my personal recommendations. **What are they made of?** The entire body is SA-455 carbon steel with a tensile strength of about 85,000 psi. This exceeds the strength of normal A36 steel by about 23%, and at 3/8" thick, is double the mass of the walls of many storm shelters on the market today. Coatings are durable, inert masonry-derivatives and non-atomized, low-VOC paints. **How long will it take to get one?** My goal is to get locals installed within 2 days of the order. Perhaps longer for trips, but still ASAP. Sometimes I show the unit at homes, and in those cases some have been installed within an hour of the nod. Quick story: Man calls, storms are approaching. Dirk drops everything and delivers unit. Shelter is put to good use same night. Next morning, Dad sends Dirk a text..."The sirens sounded at 9:35. "Wife, two daughters, granddaughter and me in the shelter till 10:05. "All ok, fun time, thank you." Another time I had to stop short while a tornado between me and my customer dissipated, then I went the 35 miles and installed the shelter before more storms arrived that evening!
