Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Particularly handy DIYers can build a DIY storm shelter. Prefabricated storm shelters are the best option for DIY installation. However, this is a big project that could take a few weeks and requires a lot of manual labor and heavy equipment. For those reasons, we always recommend reaching out to a pro for the job. Similarly, a storm shelter that’s underground or customized should be left to a pro.

The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.

Renting the right type of storage unit is sometimes a more practical alternative to renting a storage container if you don't need regular access to your items. It saves you from having an unsightly container sitting on or near your property, you won't have to worry about permits, climate-control facilities are safer for some items, and you'll have peace of mind from on-site security.

You can customize your storm shelter to any depth, but you’ll want to pay special attention to the water table on your property. Avoid installing an in-ground storm shelter less than 10 feet from the mean sea level, as this can lead to leaks. Get in touch with a storm shelter builder for a professional recommendation on how deep yours should be. 

Turnbuckle weight loads vary depending on their size. Smaller 1/4-inch turnbuckles have a weight capacity of about 500 pounds.

Larger 1/2-inch diameter models have a limit of 4,000 pounds.
