6x4 Extreme Tornado Shelter
Built with quarter-inch steel construction, the Extreme series represents the pinnacle of above-ground storm shelter engineering. These shelters aren't just designed to withstand severe weather—they're quite literally bulletproof, carrying an NIJ Level 2A ballistics rating. The 6x4 model provides substantial protection space while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for garage or basement installation.

3x5 Extreme Tornado Shelter
The 3x5 Extreme offers the same quarter-inch steel construction and NIJ Level 2A ballistics rating as its larger counterpart, making it ideal for smaller families or homes with space constraints. This model proves that comprehensive protection doesn't require compromising on quality, delivering the same bulletproof durability in a more compact configuration.

Perfect for families with limited space, the 4x4 Panelized storm shelter offers remarkable versatility. This innovative design arrives in 2x7 pieces that can be bolted together, allowing for installation in closets, bedrooms, basements, or garages. The modular construction means the shelter can be easily relocated if you move, making it an investment that travels with you. With capacity for five people, this shelter combines practicality with the portability that today's homeowners value.
