EF3 Tornadoes here in Texas can strip the asphalt off a highway. Watched a Microburst take the Roof off a really nice Brick Home. I'm just saying. We had an EF5 strip a Subdivision down to the slabs 40 miles North of us 20 years ago in Jarrell . If you're going to build a shelter , build one that will stop a tree flying thru the air at 200 mph.
Being that we don't get those types of storms in Florida There's no reason for me to build for it.
LOL….thanks for the chuckle…you’re that guy that Ron White was talking about…..
My location has been hit many times by tornadoes! Including three this year alone. We have lost family members. Although I admire his effort to protect his family, the only thing this structure will provide is a false sense of security !
Same as your home with thin hollow walls. You and I do not live in the same location. Sorry to hear about your loss.
Why not just build a concrete safe room inside the house? No running through hail, it doubles as a pantry and it stocks multiple days of well needed supplies and food.
No house in sight on this video we lived in a camper for over 3 years while we developed our property. We needed something asap.
In dem Holzschuppen würde ich auch kein Schutz suchen ! Da kommt vielleicht mal was größeres angeflogen dann ist die Hütte weg 🧐
Been looking forward to this. Can't wait to see it finished!
Several more videos coming, it will get even stronger
Well you successfully built a outdoor pantry. There’s a reason those plans are for indoor use.
Lookin' good!!!
Thanks
We love watching you build things. The storm shelter will be a safe haven and you're doing a great job. Take care.
Thank you very much! We feel so much better having it
Looking good.
Thanks
I just downloaded the plans , thank you for sharing them , the storms here in Tennessee are getting worse every year , loved the videos can’t wait to see some more , thank you and god bless
Thank you, glad you found it helpful. God bless
Don’t build this. It’s a death trap
Meanwhile everyone else just keep doing nothing and riding out these storms in your sheet rock covered house walls 🙄. People don't understand woods amazing ability to absorb shock and give. 6 inches thick, no hollow cavities..... There is absolutely no realm of comparison of the strength of this compared to homes hollow and thin walls.
@@TKCL Ever seen a tornado completely uproot a large tree? Underground is the only safe way to build a storm shelter.
Come on down to Florida and start digging, you'll hit water quickly. No basement, shelters or anything underground here.
Good morning 👍. Have a peaceful week
Thanks, same to you and your family!
Wow man that is coming together. You got it looking real nice. Man I can't believe how long them nails are. Man you make it look so easy knowing that it is not an easy project. Can't wait to see you finish.
Appreciate it
The Bosch drill will hammer right on through the rock in concrete and the Dewalt will usually deflect and/or break if it hits hard stone. The Dewalt is meant for masonry like brick and cinder block. Get one of those big landscaping stones at the garden center and drill it with both drills and you'll see that he Bosch is the correct one for the job you're doing.
GREAT JOB LOVE THE WAY YOU THINK. TAKE CARE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 😊
Thank you for watching
I built an above ground shelter using cement block. I have rebar poured into the foundation that come up through the cores in the block and filled the cores with concrete. I poured a 6" slab over the top also reinforced with rebar. At the current cost of lumber building anything is expensive.
That's definitely a solid structure. I built most of mine out of recycled lumber from a tornado damaged barn. That lumber was technically free
@@TKCL ...... If it does fly apart, the heavy timber and large nails and screws would make it a recipe for disaster. How confident are you this would be safe in a cat 4 or 5 storm?
This is a design that you can find online. It’s been vetted and tested by the wind/tornado folks. It’s solid.
@@justinhc123 Did they hurl a 4000 pound object at 75MPH into the side of the structure ? He should have saved time and money and just used toothpicks !
I know you have already finished this project but I am new here...but I just wanted to mention that you could make a small bit of laminate that had the top cut off.
The "U" would still be on the bottom but the top would be totally flat...this would give you a scrap piece to hammer down the other ones without damaging the mating surfaces.
Kind of like what the flooring installers use to mate up the pieces but with scrap so they don't bust up the good ones.
Great videos
Thank you for watching
Been waiting to see this. Really looks good and strong.
Thanks, several more videos coming. It's only going to get stronger
@@TKCL how? You gonna start over with concrete and steel? Make a storm shelter out of wood? That’s a special kind of stupid
Robert I see your bouncing from comment to comment to spew hatred and ignorance. You've taken zero time to watch the actual test of this shelter at a hurricane testing facility. You've also not read or inspected the engineered plans for this. You see wood and assume it's weak. Your mind can't comprehend how strong this is especially with the way its purposely designed and assembled. Move along if you don't like it. Or go argue with the engineers that designed and tested this.
@@TKCL People like being jerks. They like spewing hate because they have nothing better to do.
Pretty sure them 3 lil pigs already tried building their house outta wood 😂
Big difference between traditional stick built and laminated.
@@TKCLu did a badass job
that should hold up against strong winds!
Should have put a 2x2 in the space on bottom
Great Job! Thanks for the share.
Think I'll stay in the southwest.
Thank you for watching
I'm in South GA. Our tornado season used to start in March, but now it starts in January, evidently.
No kidding, I'm up right now watching this new front pop up tornados in Florida.
I'd keep the wall height as low as possible on this to minimize the wind loading.
I did, the plans wanted it another foot higher. No need for all that head room in a shelter.
We just experienced our first tornado 3 nights ago here in ky and thank God our house was spared, but from the way it looks around here there's no way I believe that could stand the force I seen here. Sorry don't mean to be critical.
No worries, this is Florida, ef0 and ef1 tornados are the common. We don't get those monsters out west and up north. We took a direct hit from a ef1 in March 2020 and it changed our lives forever. It was the most frightening thing I've ever experienced (in a camper might I add). The camper was totaled with me in it, the barn it was under destroyed, but by the grace of God I made it out without a scratch. With that said, no doubt in my mind that this shelter will survive any small tornado or hurricanee we get.
@@TKCL We got hit by a E3 in DeLand which is central Florida on Feb 2nd 2007 at 3am.
There is on record E4s in Florida and rare events where 20+ tornados spawned in a night. I ain't trying to scare you or anything but to be honest with you, personally I would not trust wood at all. I see a historical home with big thick wooden beams get turned to tooth picks. Concrete, rebar, tiger fur, good foundation and a hardy steel door. Best of luck tonight.
well done build storage shed, but thats about all its good for. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN IT IN ANY KIND HAZZARDOUS WEATHER.
My friend, this is Florida, no monster tornados here. What about the hundreds of millions of people that safely ride out storms in their homes? You can even comprehend how much stronger built this is than a standard stick built home here in the states.
They don't understand the difference between a 135mph hurricane and a 250+ mph tornado.
That being said I would have felt better if that bottom plate was secured to bolts set in the concrete. Tap-cons are good but bolts make me feel better.
That being said, this should ride out a hurricane just fine.
Enjoy watching the videos. I live in tornado alley so this seems like a waste of lumber. Id never build an above ground shelter. However for your location this may be a suitable thought. Or just stay in your house.
Keep in mind most homes have 1/2 inch osb on the outside and 1/2 inch sheet rock on the inside. Nevermind the loose insulation in the walls. There's absolutely no comparison of this structure to a home. With that said here in Florida we get a lot of tornados, but most are ef0 and ef1s. We don't get the monsters you do. We also can't build in the ground due to how wet everything stays.
Really that's tooth picks for a tornado.
even better, toothpicks with huge screws sticking out of them
I would have put a sill sealer too. Even if it's not going to be lived in, it helps keep the bugs and moisture out. I would also put regular anchor bolts instead of those little concrete screws.
Seal would have been a good idea. Those anchors were to only hold the plate in while building. Watch later in the series, 16 extremely heavy duty Simpson hold down straps with Titen HD anchor bolts. That wall isn't going anywhere.
@@TKCL Was a very good build. Still trying to figure out where all the video series are for it. I'm going to build on your idea but not for a storm cellar. We don't have much need for storm shelters here in New Mexico but I'm going to build a root cellar to store all our potatoes and other vegies and all our canned goods. It's gonna be buried in the ground so I have to do some things you didn't need to do for your shelter to seal out the moisture and rotting the wood.
Love to see the outcome vs an EF5
Well that's impossible in Florida.
@@TKCL Youre an idiot. An f5 is not impossible in Florida. And f3-f4 are more than possible. Your little wood shit shack would get shredded by a decent tornado.
@@TKCL really? are you god?
"tHiS sTrUcTuRe IsN't GoIn AnYwHeRe"... *EF-5 Tornado 🌪️.. laughs 😂 in the distance*
Well that would be a miracle being this is Florida and there has never been a ef5 on record in history. I state that many times throughout the build. We get ef0 and ef1s mostly. A ef2 is even quite rare. There is absolutely no doubt this structure can handle those storms. If I lived in the Midwest it would be a different story, I'd have something underground.
@@TKCL it's 2021.. Tx was shut down due to snow. Anything can happen now. It's HAARP 😂
Well there is a little truth to that! But I'll take my chances of a ef5 hitting Florida in the exact spot of my shelter. Pretty sure the odds are much in my favor.
@@TKCL yeah man I live in north Florida myself I think what you built is plenty sufficient for the type of stuff we get
I trust it completely for our hurricanes and small tornados.
If you just keep the camera in the fast forward mode, you would have it all done in one afternoon. 😁
So that's the secret to life! I'll remember that from here on out 😂
Impact drill is better for that that I think.
First let me say I don't know what I'm talking about. I was surprised that you didn't set anchor bolts in the concrete slab when it was wet and bolt the wood down to the slab. I would just be interested to see what others think on this subject. Your build would not work for my part of the country, but I find it interesting because if lumber is all that I have, what you are doing is better than nothing. Look forward to seeing more.
I'm following engineered plans for the most part, that's why I am going to anchor the way they have suggested. Those plans are in the description if interested. Bolting the bottom plate to the slab will not anchor the structure as well as the plates that go up the wall tying multiple timbers together IMO.
@@TKCL ... That was really nice of you to comment back and share your thoughts about this. Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching and learning with me.
@@ze-xi8rf What state are you in ze5132??? Im 100 miles south of Moore Oklahoma. Im getting the above ground metal, 1/4 inch plate. All solid welded. Hope its strong enough. What do you think?
If built to the plans this is designed to withstand an ef5 it was put out by the forest service.
Looking good my friend, So in the event that the walls do start getting out of level, How do you get it level again without leaving little cracks where you shim it or whatever it is you would do?
You do leave some cracks. Once the outside and inside is sheathed in 3/4 plywood, the structure is bonded then. Those tiny cracks won't matter a bit. You still have the inner 2x6 1.5 inch lip for strength too.
Was just looking through the Tornado Shelter Plans... and noticed one difference. You've started and continued to install the wall beams with the spline at the top of the beam. The plans show the 1st course had the spline slot on top. 2nd course the spline on the bottom of the 2nd beam would sit down into the spline slot of the 1st course... and all the same as you go up. The plans version would end with the slot upward. Unless your last course is modified, your last course will end with the spline up top. How will that affect the roof beams going down?
I was wondering when someone would notice that. I didn't see any issue doing it the exact opposite. The final top cap has to have the middle section ripped doing it my way and according to the plans. I've already done that and started on the roof. You can either rip down a 2x6 before putting the top beam together, or cut it off after the fact (like I did). Video coming soon
What keeps a nader or hurricane from ripping your structure off of the pad? Why not have some threaded anchors in the concrete when pouring the slab? Those walls are going to be darn strong tho!
Keep watching, 4 ft earth augers bolted into the side at completion. Not to mention it's a 8 inch slab.
Two criticisms right off the bat. First, why didn't you use construction adhesive on the plate along with the concrete bolts? That adds tremendous strength to the locking of the base to the floor. Second, why did you not use a 2x2 tongue screwed and glued to the floor plate? That may be overkill, but the strength of the building means nothing if it pulls loose from the slab and blows away.
You need to watch later in the series, it's engineered to attach to the slab with 16 HUGE Simpson straps and large Titen HD bolts. Construction adhesive is nothing compared to that.
I would like to know why he put it so far from the house
Love it! Do you not have basements in that area?
No basements here, water table is high. Thanks for watching!
@@TKCL Thanks! I'd do exactly what you're doing then. We shelter in the basement any time there is a Tornado watch/warning.
I notice that when you put your 8" screws into the ends of your 'logs', you staggered them - one into the inside 2x8 and one into the outside 2x8. In looking at the FEMA plans, it appears they put both of those screws into the center 2x8. Does it make a difference?
Not sure, I wanted to make sure I didn't put them to close together as to hit in the same piece of wood and split it.
@@TKCL ........If a tornado comes, it might be best to stay in the house.
Just because storm is over doe not many a thing you should never take the weather for granted even if it the event of the year summer and winter storm tornadoes and hurricane can happen any time in the late fall and spring time as the planet change so you mine as well building a house underground that can with stand under ground weather
I just seen the tornado knock a train over man good luck in that did you see Kentucky you might want to put that underground
This is Florida, we don't get those kinds of tornados. Efo and ef1s are the most common here. You can't go underground here, we have a very high water table. No basements here either.
How did you weatherproof this shelter against exposure to the elements? I’ve seen the plans for this sort of shelter from the US forest service, but they recommend building it in an existing basement or garage as it’s not a weatherproof design. Also, I’m not sure whether or not the specifications of this design take into account the existing underground protection already offered by a basement, or if it this shelter can be expected to perform the same against EF5 tornadoes on an exposed, above-ground slab like this. I like the design and the DIY nature of it, but I’m not sure that it was intended to be built outdoors and exposed as a stand alone structure.
Covered this like a house with fiber cement siding. Not difficult to weatherproof it. We also don't have ef5 tornados in Florida. Our most common is ef0 and ef1. I fully trust it for that.
Can you tell me what size bolts you used to install the 2x6 treated timbers to the slab ... how many did you use? (In the video you mentioned two per timber but in watching it seemed you used a lot more)
I don't remember off hand, those are absolutely not necessary. I just wanted to secure the bottom board from shifting. Keep watching, the real straps and bolts for securing come much later.
Smart design
Thank you for watching
I would like to examine the plans, what is the wind-shear rating?
It's 250 mph, not that I would trust it to that www.homeinnovation.com/-/media/Files/Reports/The-Wood-Tornado-Shelter-Construction-Guide-November-2018.pdf
An F3 or F4 tornado will totally destroy what you are building. An F5 which is rare however it will take your concrete pad as well as the wood.
In 1974 Indiana had a F5. It picked up two 100 ton railroad bridge spans and carried them 100 yards up the river. Your ONLY chance for survival in an F5 is underground.
Good luck....
As mentioned over and over, we don't get those size tornados in Florida. You dont build in the ground here, too much water.
I think these days…. Concrete is cheaper than wood…. Crazy times!
It probably is. This was over a year ago and I used salvaged materials to build it. That really helped keep costs down.
Why so far away from the house? That’s a crazy sprint at night when a funnel is on you.
Because 99 percent of its use will most likely be hurricanes since this is Florida. Plenty of notice for those. Plus when tornado risk is present, we keep notifications on our phone and go out early well before the line of thunderstorms come in.
@@TKCL You know your area well. Makes sense to me now. Rock on brother.
Where is the plans you said you had a link too?
In the videos description Storm shelter planswww.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/tornado-shelter/ConstructionGuide.pdf
Cost
Temperature of 402 - 0 degree fan height
Why not just get one of the storm shelters already built that's solid steel and have the company install it? They are above ground and anchored to a concrete slab.
Because those companies don't exist in Florida or my area. Those are also small stand up shelters designed for a few minutes use. I needed something bigger for all night hurricane use. I was able to salvage and use a lot of my materials.
Fast forward a few months and it is now cheaper to build it out of concrete. 😬
Lol you are exactly right! Luckily I had a lot scrap wood for this build and bought everything before it went up several hundred percent
I hope that's not for a tornado
Florida my man, ef0 and ef1s is the most common tornado here. We don't get the monster ones out west. The majority of its use will be for hurricanes and tropical storms. This is built 10x stronger than any wood construction home.
@@TKCL ok good. I was just thinking man that's gonna get ripped into toothpicks if a twister hits it. I live in Kentucky and our county just got hit by a huge tornado and it demolished everything in its path. Take care and good looking build
Yeah if I was further west, I'd have a underground bunker. We can't do that here in Florida because of our high water table.
I grew up in Texas out in the country. There we just dug a hole and made a concrete bunker. Is this for people who can't do that?
Yes some people live in wet areas. Some people are DIY like me and would have a hard time building an underground bunker. I Iooked at a lot of options and this was the most affordable and easiest one to build for me. I feel comfortable wood working, not to mention I had a bunch of 2x6s laying around from our tornado damaged building.
I grew up in a place where the winds came so hard a steady off the ocean that most municipal buildings were sunken halfway into the ground, dirt piled up like a ramp to almost the roof, and the roof was installed nearly touching the dirt. Each building was like walking into a warm, quiet tunnel with shops and offices inside.
Underground concrete shelters are spider havens, making some folks reluctant to use them. You'd have to keep the shelter cleaned out regularly to make it usable. Most folks are not going to do that. The above ground shelter isn't as secure, but can double as a storage shed - as long as you leave room for people and pets.
@@genebruce6321 it would depend on location. Currently, I am in Ohio. Anything out of the wind is a spider haven.
I'll agree with a lot of what you both said. Above ground was about ease of building and using materials I'm comfortable with. This structure has been engineered and tested to 250 MPH, WAY more than is possible in my state. Our most common tornados are 100 mph or less and we are far enough inland that a category 5 hurricane will still be no where near what this structure can handle. There are a bunch of ways to build a shelter, this one made sense for us. Now if I was in a state with common ef4 and ef5 tornados, it would definitely be a underground shelter.
andrew, why didnt you just build an underground cellar?
Florida, too much rain and too high of a water table.
im pretty sure you arent screwing this together correctly. The 8" screws are supposed to be screwed into the next level not the same level. Otherwise the levels are only held together with glue.
Watch until the end. The entire structure inside and out is laminated in 3/4 ply, all levels are nailed together with literally a thousand or more nails and glued with construction adhesive.
What's the dimensions? We just got hit by 2 massive tornadoes here in S.e. Louisiana, I bet a lot of people wish they had this
8x8 on the outside and 7x7 on the inside. It's definitely better than sitting in a house with 1/2 osb and 1/2 sheetrock. Hope you made it through the storm ok.
anchor bolts in concrete missing, tapcons are for children, no proper joining of corners?
You watch a single video in the series and can see the end result?🤷 It gets far stronger as the build goes on.
How many do I need to see? You are the one putting this out here, not me....
Failure is failure, and most start at the ground up! HELLO if you dont anchor it correctly, physics will show you a thing or two son..........40 years exp.
Tornado shelter made out of wood????
That's most peoples first instinct. 6 inches solid and laminated, this is also engineered and tested in a storm facility. I can assure you this is stronger than those thin walled steel barrels everyone is putting in their garages labeled at storm shelters. Wood is excellent at absorbing shock.
NICE JOB, I just don't understand why you would take all the time and expense to "almost" protect you and your family?
Well...a tornadoe Rips steal building s like there nothing....I wouldn't get in it....looks good thou
Florida my friend, ef0 and ef1s at the worse. Anything above that is extremely rare. This will get used for tropical storms and hurricanes more than anything. I've lived through those for 37 years and trust this far more than a house with sheet rock walls.

200 mph winds.. Might as well stand outside and face it head on
Ahhh yes, another person who does not understand the strength of wooden structures and their ability to absorb shock. And another viewer that didn't take the time to listen to the 100 times I stated this is Florida with the typical 70-90 mph tornado. 200 mph storms have never in history existed here. With that said, the engineer and test facility rated this to 250 mph. Do I trust it to that? NOPE!
*If you went underground you could save a TON of money and work.*

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a tornado but F3s will rip 6x6’s in half like they’re made of cardboard… this is not a tornado shelter- hail and hurricane, sure, tornado? Fuck no.
I'd suggest you watch the to end of the series. This is triple glued, bailed, screwed and laminated 2x6s. The outside and then inside is laminated with 3/4 ply. Overall structure is a solid 6 inches thick. This isn't a single 2x6 and the glue and attachment pattern has actually been engineered and tested in the same tornado testing facility as many other shelters. You also have missed many episodes where I explained this is Florida, the most common tornado being ef0 and ef1. I can assure you this will ride out our tornados and hurricanes. You can't even compare the strength of this to a traditional built home that millions of people ride out these storms in.
@@TKCL omg ! Crazy! Am I the only one posting that lives in tornado alley? This is a joke ! Try hurling a 4000 lb object at 50MPH into the side of this structure ! Get back to me !
Looks like it ought to hold off a storm.
Oh I think it will, no problem
Tornado will rip that to shreds
This isn't the Midwest, it's Florida. Our common ef0 and ef1 tornados are not going to touch this.
@@TKCL while this is the 1st vid of yours I've seen, by looking at it and your description of the other enhancements I'm pretty sure this would handle 0 & 1s.... and might handle much more.

Here is a link to the pdf plans The Wood Tornado Shelter - Construction Guide www.homeinnovation.com/-/media/Files/Reports/The-Wood-Tornado-Shelter-Construction-Guide-November-2018.pdf
Just cause wood is 100x more expensive doesn’t make it 100x stronger tho
Look at the date on this video, was built before the big jump in lumber. Most of the two-by-sixes were salvaged and recycled from a tornado damaged barn on our property.
All held down with concrete screws…. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
You watched a single episode, it's later held down per plans. That is with 16 HUGE simpson strong tie plates and 16 Titen HD anchor bolts.
Fantastic build. Are you a carpenter by trade? You’ve got lots of expensive tools.
BTW: Merry Christmas
No not at all, just grew up working on and fixing what you can. Saves money and teaches valuable lessons that you can apply elsewhere. Easy to justify the tools with as much as they save me. I'm currently building my own home right now with those same tools. Saving me tens of thousands of dollars. Take care!
Yeah um....that can't do a direct hit
Yeah I bet it can with weak Florida tornados. This isn't Oklahoma, no big ones here. I took a direct hit from a ef1 in a 2007 camper last year. It totaled it, but I survived without a scratch. There is no comparison in the strength of this building vs a camper or even a traditional built home.
Won't survive a 1997 Jarrell EF5 tornado..
Well probably not, but that would also be impossible in Florida. Never had a EF5 on record.
@@TKCL Plan for the worse
that will not withstand a tornado
Yet people sit inside sheet rock homes all the time. I'll take this any day.
Ugh Tap Con Bad idea! just my opinion.
Don't judge one episode, that was to keep my wood in place. I anchor 16 straps down later with titen HD bolts. That structure isn't going anywhere.
Just use concrete blocks
Don't remember if I discussed it in this video but I'm using wood for two reasons. Easy to work with and something I'm use to, also had a lot of spare 2x6s from our barn that was blown down in a tornado.
THE PLANS NO LONGER WORK.
Type in wooden tornado shelter on Google, the link moved. It's under the US Forest Service if I remember correctly.
This Guy talks too much I think he enjoys hearing himself Talk
Move along then.
I dont think i want to be inside a wooden storm shelter during a tornado he obviously didnt see the footage of rolling fork ms after a rated ef4 that xhoulda been rated a ef5 but to each his on something like that i wouldnt cheap out on he must not think much of his family and hisself i feel like that was a stupid waste of money that coulda been put toward a real storm shelterand he got 3/16 screws holding it to that slab
You obviously didn't watch any of the series and learn where I live. Florida, we don't get those monster tornados and we can't build in ground due to water levels and rain. I'm far more protected than the hundreds of millions of people sitting in their sheet rock homes. Your comment of screws shows your quick judgment as well. The structure is held down with 16 huge Simpson strong ties with Titen HD bolts.
