We're happy to share information about Safe Sheds, Inc. storm shelters and safe rooms. These above ground concrete storm shelters are manufactured in the Midwest and shipped all across the U.S., providing protection from severe weather such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Designed to provide near absolute protection for your family and priced to be affordable, Safe Sheds, Inc. is an industry leader. Our videos show important information about how our shelters are designed, installed, and used.
Safe Sheds Installation - Lowering The Shelter Onto The Site
Safe Sheds storm shelters are delivered on a semi-tractor, setting directly above the back wheels. The semi wheels will need access to the site where the shelter is to be installed. Once it's in place, the delivery cage legs will be lowered to the ground, lifting the shelter off the back of the semi-tractor. The semi will pull out from under the shelter, and the shelter will be lowered into position, as shown in this video.

InGround Anchor Installation
มุมมอง 11K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This video is the property of Safe Sheds, Inc. and demonstrates the method used when a Safe Sheds above ground storm shelter is anchored. Anchoring prevents the shelter from sliding if struck by heavy debris such as a vehicle. The danger of tipping or flipping is eliminated by the weight of the shelter (24,000 lbs.) and the design.

This video shows an entry door used in a Safe Shed, Inc storm shelter being tested for stability from flying debris typical of tornadoes. The testing consist of three impacts at key areas of the door using a 15 pound board being shot from a wind cannon at speeds of 100 mph. The test is designed to check for stress failures on key components of the door. This door design successfully passed the ...
Apparently another shelter of this design survived a tornado here: th-cam.com/video/8jysBdCcgDA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kIcJ2HM8E1p95k8I
I wonder if it was a EF5 if it would have still held up
She seems so sweet.
How does it hold up against steel debris at +250 ?
Had to be a scary ride for sure! Glad all is well!!!
I’ve never heard of a safe shed failing during a tornado. They seem to be built very well with rebar reinforcement.
The amount of idiotic comments on here 😂

I wonder how the users may do if they are in the shed during a combination hurricane-flood.
Thank you for the question. FEMA standards for hurricane shelters stipulate that they should not be installed in areas that are identified as flood areas or storm surge areas. We check installation location requests prior to delivery and remind owners to evacuate if so ordered by local authorities. It is not watertight!
I like this design more than those shelters that get buried in the ground or in your garage. With the escape hatch on the back you are far less likely to get trapped inside it. It should have a way to put a small mini-split into it. If you invest in something like this, you'd want to set it up to be comfortable enough to sleep in when there is any significant weather risk. It doesn't do you any good if you won't go into it ahead of time because it is stifling hot.
Have they ever thought of making the door swing in in case there is something blocking the door? I would be afraid I would be trapped inside and debris would be hiding the shed
I imagine as long as you had food, water, flashlights and the ventilation they have you'd be could to go til help arrived
2:43 A dent and bent cross brace, and chipped concrete is damage.... Its not in its actual manufactured state any more.... But it did what it was suppose to do. Saved lifes.
BB: My big problem with this company is they will not relocate a safe shed. I built my house 500 ft from where we were living in a trailer while we built home. They will not move my save shed that short distance. I offered $2k to move. They said no. Ridiculous
Good afternoon, Mr. Barnett. I'm sorry that we have disappointed you. Bringing a semi tractor to your location 400+ miles from us and spending the three to four hours needed to un-anchor, load, move, unload, and re-anchor your shelter is not a service we are able to cost- and time-effectively offer. The 270+ customers who are waiting for their shelters must be our highest priority at this time. With the very short distance you're needing to move your shelter, a local crane company should be able to do the job pretty quickly, and it would typically be less than $2,000 you have in your budget.
@@safeshedssales5046 Had I known this I would not had bought it.
I'd get an inground shelter, so I can drown and be trapped by debris... lol.
Sounds like a good place for important family papers too.
Wow
Wait where did the pickup truck get folded in half? I didn't know if she said it enough times for the people in the back to hear
Wow
That's impressive. We are in the market for a storm shelter, but I want to know for sure it will survive an EF5 tornado. There's been several that big that's come within a couple of miles of me.
Those shelters will withstand an f5.
I wouldn't trust anything above ground...this shelter looks safe, but there have been F5 tornadoes that have thrown 20 thousand pound tanks a half a mile. There isn't much that can withstand that power, besides being out of its way (underground). and the steel boxes that are put in garages that are just 6 inches below ground are useless and only there to comply with code. You need to be under the dirt. Not just in a hole with a steel plate over your head.
Underground is definitely the safest from tornadoes, however flooding is a huge threat to underground shelters. Some storms, particularly in the south, have tons of rain with them and flooding can become a bigger risk than the tornado. So it just depends. The chances of a direct ef5 hit are lower than a flash flood. @@johnf817
Bank vaults have survived EF5 tornadoes though. Matter of economics maybe. @@johnf817
I live in Bridgeport Illinois just South of Robinson where the EF3 tornado hit a couple weeks ago and I'm wanting to know what. Would one of them buildings cost? Or could you PM me some literature I would like to have a price on a 8' by 8' 6'H For a family of 4.
you bear a striking resemblance to Jamie Lee Curtis.

How did they get out if the truck was there? The door should open in.
Mr. Olson - The truck did not stay against the shelter. Also, there is another opening in the back of the shelter in case debris blocked the door.
There are a lot of people in the comments who have a fear of getting blocked in. The door opening outward means the door jamb will stop the door when pushed inward.
Every year storms get more and more intense....everywhere. I am in Virginia and even though we have been lucky....I'm still convinced we haven't seen anything yet here....it's coming and it scares me. I live in a two story farm house that belonged to my grandparents. The closest thing we have to a storm shelter is a pit in the packing house (for those who ask...what is....it's a structure that was used to pack up tobacco before going to market) . It's been decades since it was used...the structure itself is in excellent shape...but it's full of MANY things from yesteryear....so there is something probably living in the pit....it's a scary looking place...so I always said...I will take my chances staying in the house....LOL!! But lately...the wheels in my mind have been going round and round. I always thought underground was best...but these sheds seem really secure and safe. I have been watching videos lately about them....and I think it's something a lot of people should actually consider checking into. I know not everyone can afford to do it...myself included...but think about this.....Can you actually put a price on safety for your family? I will def be checking on prices and such very soon.
>More intense No they haven't. Stop swallowing the media.
I'm still a bit leary of the roof corner. But I'll admit, the shelter did it's job.
Illinoisan without a basement here. Didn't know you all were in Illinois. That's great.
tiniest little bubble? meanwhile the L bracket is bent 4 inches above it. while I do believe it held up just fine, why lie to us?
Thing looks nice., until you get some damn squatter homeless junkies call it home..
I assume the "safe sheds" are anchored to the ground?
THANK GOD it saved the dogs!
That’s impressive

I understand there is a need to sell things, but for some reason, I'm not sure I'm sold on the validity of this story. Yes, you used a very "honest" sounding individual who also sounds like she'd connect with anyone. But when I went to the Safe Shed Inc website, the exact same story is on the website like a selling point. Quite cheesy and it also piqued my interest. I know you have a picture of a truck that supposedly hit the shed and was bent up. You also had the damage left by the truck on the shed, but without seeing the two together...it's hard to believe. My thinking is that if a family of 7 survived this, the first thing they would have done is taken a picture of that truck folded on the safe shed because that's what people do. They take pics of everything. Why aren't any pics by the family or by anyone showing that truck folded onto the shed? That makes me not believe this story and that it's only a marketing sham.
You ever been in a tornado? She also explains that it did not stay attached.
Good morning, and thank you for your comment. You're more than welcome to visit our facility in Salem and see the shelter for yourself. And thanks for saying I am honest sounding and can connect with anyone. When you visit to see the shelter, I'll take you to lunch.
How the hell are they gonna open the door with the damn truck still on it
There is one HUGE fault in the Design. The door could be Narrower and have a step above grade and MUST OPEN INWARD. There is more than a tiny dent, that stiffener is bent. Roof is Structural. Vents should be through bolted to inside covers. If it has a rear hatch, ladder rungs must be incorporated 2 above and 4 below opening inside and outside if hatch is more than 24" above grade.
can't get a wheelchair through a narrower door, looks like you do have to step up and in to it, They all survived, including the shed.
@@peggyisme Good point. Most Wheelchairs partially collapse I believe.
@@gordbaker896 not with the person in them
@@peggyisme There may not be time to lift them over the step in the Chair..
It’s great that the people survived, but shouldn’t the door open in instead of out?
FEMA Pub. 320/361 don't require a door to open inwards or outwards. When an object strikes the 3/16" steel door, like the EF4-thrown pickup truck did, the 250 lb. door is forced against a steel doorjamb, adding mechanical strength. The doorframe is poured into the concrete, so there's no danger of the frame, jamb, or hardware failing. Our debris test results are on our website for your review.
Incredible!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They should have kept this shelter. It’s proven it’s structurally sound.
Nothing Succeds (Sells) Like Success! Congrats on engineering and constructing a life saving structure that actually performs as designed and marketed.
Those people were probably terrified when they were in there 😳
Saved people's lives didn't it......any structure is better than a cheaply built mobile home. And yes, all mobile homes are crap.
Excellent choice! Smart!
The commenters don’t even read the information available. Shocker. Most of the questions are literally answered on the website.
Well made
I bet they had to change there draws after that truck hit that door!!
I ordered my shelter this week and cannot wait to receive it!
How much?
So, how is it going with your shelter?
Door opens the wrong way.
Looks great for a business . You can't get that truck in a residential back yard !
