Tornado Shelter Also Serves As Fruit Cellar
 ✖  |
Residents of the nation's "tornado belt" often build concrete structures underground or add a room to a basement or barn for storm protection. A simpler, more economical way to do it may be to install a ready-made steel shelter that you can use as a fruit and vegetable cellar until storms threaten.
George DeMoss, an Iowa builder, manufactures and markets a 16 ga. corrugated steel shelter which is easy to install in a sidehill or completely underground. It's 78 in. in dia. and comes in 6 ft. or 10 ft. lengths. A flat wooden floor and two wooden seats run the length of the shelter.
The shelter has an optional stairway for entering when it's buried under flat ground. A hillside attachment outfits the shelter for sidehills.
DeMoss suggests that the shelter is ideal with a lake home or mobile home. Besides providing emergency shelter, it can be equipped with shelves and used for fruit and vegetable storage.
The 6-ft. shelter is priced at $1,250, plus $400 for the stairway. Prices do not include delivery and setup.
