The walls and floors are four inches thick, reinforced, and waterproof concrete.

Survivor Shelters FAQ
What size shelter do I need?
FEMA recommends three square feet of floor space for each person in a tornado shelter.
How long does it take to get a shelter?
Lead times vary depending on the season. Normal lead time is three to four weeks from the time of your order until your shelter is installed. During the spring and fall, tornado season lead time may increase to six to eight weeks. Expedited orders are available for additional costs.
What is the difference between a Guardian and Lifesaver?
The Lifesaver is our most accessible in-ground shelter model, with only a few poured concrete steps to get inside. These steps are less steep than the typical metal steps included with storm shelters.
The Guardian has metal steps similar to a step ladder. This allows the shelter to be a bit deeper than the Lifesaver, giving you 6’2” of height rather than the Lifesaver’s 5’9”. The metal steps also have room behind them that many enjoy having available for storing chairs or other emergency supplies.
