If that storm shelter door was left open overnight here in SoCal, somebody would be living in it by morning
Stu
Yuup!
Stu Pidasso hahahaha
Stu -- If that's the case then someone needs to install 10 of these in every politician's back yard in California.
lol
Most of these commercial shelters have an important design weakness in that all it takes to trap occupants inside when a storm lands a tree or any other heavy objects on the door. Doors need to be vertical, sheltered, and even open inward to help prevent a blocked entrance.
I noticed that. It might be wise to keep a battery-powered angle grinder the cut a hole somewhere in that situation arises🤷♂️
After watching The 100, I can see why all of these things would be necessary. For us claustrophobic folks, that’s like worst nightmare right there.
@Brandi MacLaren You should be able to specify what you want. Most certainly avoid a door that opens upward. Think about what can land on it. All the stuff that blew away from other properties. Trees, limbs, trailers, kangaroos. :-)
Dewalt cutting wheels
I’m sure you would be able to install a setup with a hydraulic jack that would push the door open if something landed on top of it. Keep a couple of hydraulic jacks and a couple pieces of 4x4 or 6x6 in the shelter. There’s all sorts of ways that you could prepare for such a case, I know that I would.
Many years ago my great grandfather staked off a place in his yard, dug down about 10 feet with a backhoe, then put concrete blocks in it a door and steps that go to it and the most important thing he did was take a piece of sheet metal and put it on the top and place dirt back on top of it and also put a vent on the top and even ran electricity to at one point. That storm pit has saved us from multiple tornados and is so safe that was such a great way to build it he did an absolutely amazing job
I would trust your grandpa to build me one. I am not liking any modern ones I have seen. At least your grandfather was from the times when quality workmanship mattered, every life mattered and such pride, they would build it better than the guy before. If only we still had these qualities now.
It saved you from multiple tornadoes? How many times have you had to rebuild your house,..?

I've been working with Lowe's 6 years now and this is the first I've heard of this thing.
You obviously don't live in a state with frequent tornados then lol
@@WarriorGarden1 I was gonna say cause it's a Lowes in the south and southerners are know for liking shit like bunkers 😂
I worked at some and never seen them before we should start putting around the USA to get the bonus for lowes lol
They have one at my local lowes.
@@guywithdreads No, people in the south are known for needing "shit" like tornado shelters, especially in tornado alley.
I live in Wewoka Ok. If you've ever experienced the wicked power of a twister you'd understand the importance of information like this. Thanks for sharing bro.
Rocking R Farm and Ranch exactly!! Thank you for watching.
@@KeepingItDutch This is only a shelter. It is not a bunker. What's with the dishonesty???
Such good quality. The handle on this brand new bunker is already showing signs of rust.
I saw that, too. They should use galvanized metal similar to gate lock, if this door handle rusted and break, then people can't get in/out. Also, I wonder how they connect top half to bottom half, looks like they have two metal bars from the outside, the suction wind force will be strong.
Lowe's should have these available in ALL states where tornados occur!
Well why don't YOU make them available in every state were tornadoes occur? Why is it lowes' job to do everything? Its always someone else's job to do everything you want done isn't it old sport. Hahahah
@@dougmcdougal3777 I do not own a retail business. I have a different type of a job. So, me selling retail items is impossible! The question still stands!
@@websurfin9575 ........You didn't ask a question smart guy.
Lowes might be busy selling other things. Dont try to palm it off to them. Obviously you will need become a retailer. Make it happen or stop telling others they should do it.
@@dougmcdougal3777 Dementia... possibly?
@@dougmcdougal3777 Angry Lowes employee?
I would take it to Linex first to get sprayed with their bedliner material. This way it is water proof and strengthened all the way around.
I like this idea a lot!
Just use driveway sealer do it right in place before you cover it with dirt
Combination storm shelter, weapon storage, and from the sound of it, epic music den.
We live in Alabama. Few houses have basements. We had a complete underground bunker installed. We got fiberglass with a lifetime, no leak warranty. We've used it twice. Rather have and not need.
What is the brand if I may ask?
Lifesavershelters from Huntsville did the installation. TH-cam Lifesaver....Danny Robinson in Huntsville is awesome. When he's finished, that thing is not floating around. He knows the bunker business
@@c.hundley9714 thanks so much!!
Hey hi went to see the Huntsville bunkers, just wanted to come back and say they kinda look like boat cuddy cabins lol. There awesome
@@romero2025 we have had no issues. Danny's been doing this for years. No way are they floating up as one person implies. We love ours
when there is a tornado every body is gonna run to lowes
😂
Don't wait until you see the funnel cloud to write this check. I have a basement. I have been near a tornado twice and been under a debris release ten miles away once. I'ts uncanny to see what looks like a piece of paper descending from the sky only to see it develop into a 4 by eight foot section of broken vinyl siding still attached in rows that lands within feet of you. Tornadoes are deadly powerful.
Thomas Hughes agreed....
Buy about ten of them bury them around your property.
Connect them with some walk through culverts.
Build a couple watchtowers on top of a couple of them
@Brian Landers no its a terrible idea in a shtf situation a guard tower is gonna draw attention you want your bunker hide and camouflaged.
I mean i would try personnaly todestroy the walls on the other side and keep the door but with a padlock on the other side and the bunker extended wi5h more room of concrete
Why spend $32,000 on storm shelters when you can buy a real bunker for that price?
A cabin top-side instead of watch towers... it's much less conspicuous... & I can see it 🙂.
the door was left open but my concern is no drainage?
Nice! I wish they had the door open to the inside so it couldn’t get blocked shut! Good price! Well worth the money 💰👍🇺🇸
I remember seeing these at both Lowe's and Home Depot when I lived in Tulsa, OK between 2012 and 2017.
That’s a big one for $3300 installed! I just saw a 6x6 underground shelter for sale for $8600 PRE installation price!. This is a bargain!
Awesome! They might consider redesigning the door to open inward instead of outward in case a tree falls on door. But great design overall.
Door opening inwards in storm conditions will smash you
@@jayuppercase3398 ahh
@@jayuppercase3398 .........outwards you wouldn't be able to open the door if winds are against it, or it smashes you as you enter, and then you get trapped inside. Everyone knows better shelters have door open inwards.
thank you so much! great video!
With tornados and no basements yes I would want one too
Cool man... They look smaller from the outside than they do from the inside... Which is weird... You'd think it would be the opposite... Look big outside, but feel cramped inside... Oh well... Very cool... Thanks for sharing !
Just means you need to paint it like a blue police box.
Tardis.
@@TheUserid82 who be da doccy
News flash
A bunker could be lived in. This is merely a storm shelter. To ride out a storm. A bunker would be used more long term. Say to ride out a nuclear war or something else big.
People live in 6’ x 8’ cells and 4’ x 4’ cells
People live in their van xD
Looks nice I would want another emergency escape hatch.
greenspiraldragon
I would want 10.....I win
greenspiraldragon, I would want to put two of them together. To have a larger space. Add lights and shelving for food and water.
@@jamesfilmore2058 .........I would want 11 you low life chunk of garbage. Now how d'you like them apples??? Ah haha ahahahHAHAHAHAAHA
This is a good reason for me to go to Lowe’s
I'm glad I escaped Oklahoma, we had the same one in the backyard. Never had to use it.
Good video. Greetings from leach Oklahoma, small world.
Cinder Cinnamon hi neighbor
I heard this guy in a wheelchair had a customized one for him he paid top dollar for it he said one week after they finished it a tornado came threw and saved his life he also said it was well worth the money he thought he was never going to use it he was wrong
SNOOP U 2 thats awesome
Storm shelter saved him. Makes sense.
Great Idea, Thanks !
I'm from Oklahoma and I consider it a tornado shelter lol I really need one of these damn things or a 'safe room'
adam tarver yeah lol. You will be very happy when you get one.
Thank you!
I want one. I wish my local Lowes had this available. I want something like that. Hurricane Florence made me flee my mh. I want a place to go where I can take my cats and be safe. A tiny bit bigger and it would be perfect.
I'm surprised it's not chained up like the generators and such. It must be a good neighborhood. :D
Looks like a great hurricane shelter, or a root cellar.
I'm very familiar with these. I used to live in Joplin, Mo. and Miami, Ok. I live in Florence, South Carolina now, and you don't see these.
I think I'd want another door on the other end just in case one got a tree on it. Nice units, though.
thats what i was thinking or rain flooding it or a garage landing on top of it and sealing you in
tubularguynine just put a 20 ton jack in the shelter
Can't figure out why bunker doors open out?
Stuckgrenadepin I would not want to rely on the government to come and check (save) me. No thanks.
Just have some sort of system in place that you would be able to alert someone should you get stuck in it.
Awesome video... nThank you! Are there larger ones?
How much is the installation? Is there room for food, water, & sleep? Thx for sharing
Nice to knw friend good looking out
They fill up with water if you have a high water table. Better check first. I got one inside my garage, $4200 installed 4x8.
when, are they going to start selling nuclear fallout shelters that double as storm shelter
Concrete is supposed to be very porous. When it rains (non-tornado) is water going to get in and create mildew issues?
Oh, man! I've always wanted my own bunker!!!
Rat and Cat Here's your chance! 😉
Yes!
These are only "storm shelters". It would cost a fair bit more for an actual bunker.
Back in the day, before basements were the standard, many rural families had a separate “root cellar” that offered shelter from violent weather. Think of the storm cellar in the Wizard of Oz movie.
There’s no way, even in 2017 was this thing only $280 to install
probably a load of hidden costs to be added up to that price
He is known for his lies. There is no way it is a "bunker" either as he claims. Cuck-oo cuck-oo! Its a beginner lever storm shelter at best.
I just saw a video where the installation popped out of the ground after a tornado 🌪 Buy 1 but make dang sure it’s anchored into the ground.
I live in Oklahoma everyone around us has a shealter ours is extra deep and proly I little smaller than that.
Just subbed nice video been wanting one of the but about double or triple that one
jeff bragg thanks a lot, im so glad we got one.
It’s amazing how expensive it is to save your own life
3k really isn't that much. Although you can significantly save money if you do the work yourself. However it isn't cheaper, you are just converting dollars into man hours.
That's crazy I never saw something like this. Thanks for sharing
Nice. I like it.
Very interesting !
I'm more afraid of small tight places than I am of tornados.
Until a tornado comes by.
If a tree fell in front of that door how would you get out?
Ina Dollard : put an old jack down in supply’s to open the door with.
Ina Dollard they sell jacks that will force the door open.
With a 20 ton jack you keep in the storm shelter
Perfect temporary tornado escape nuff said.
ive always wondered, if there was nuclear war and youre chillen in your underground bunker- where do you get clean air from thats not eradicated?
If you meant irradiated, there are filters for that.
Just another Okie browsing for yet another tornado season 😂
Why would someone dislike this video? Don’t understand that.
Hey I know this is an old video but thanks for sharing man
∵§ain†♣∀₦₲ξℜ∴ thanks for watching brother.
U can buy a shipping container for that price tho, in my area that is but its still pretty cool tho & it would serve its purpose well.
Far out-so cool
Gonna buy one
I need one of those
Ooh, that would make a real nice root cellar
How do you get electrical power inside for your microwave? ;-)
Wow, "i never have seen any of those at my lowes unless they are stored in the back where only authorized folks are allowed. Man 12 people is like a bit too many when it comes to having to spend a few hours in that modern concrete tomb! I'm having trouble breathing just looking at the tiny space they would be occupying if all hell wad to occur.
Lastly, probably comes with lots of extras like "battery lighting and small knockouts for cables via reception?"
if I were in this tiny 6 ft wide thing by myself, it would be too small.a bed is 6 ft long. think about that. if you put 2 twin beds in there sideways, that's all you could put in 12 ft long you would be lucky to get them to fit and would only have -3 ft to walk. would definitely not buy this.
Can anyone tell me if there’s like hunting gear or something but I’m wanting like a fake bush like a big one to cover a fort/ bunker I made for my nephews something that gets air flow threw it but would make the top part that sticks out the ground to look like a bush or even just a bunch of brush to help “hide” it
Would be nice if they made them with a sump channel!
I am glad to live in western Colorado. Don't need anything like that. If I lived where you do I would have on of those for sure.
im moving that way soon have a disabled mother do they make a way to have a ramp instead of stairs to get in and out?
That would be an awesome cellar. for for and wine beer liquor.
that few inches of rain gives me one concern...the possibility of that becoming a drowning-pit if it needed to be used during a heavy rain situation...flash floods here in central TX with only 1.5-2 inches of fast rain. Any drainage or bilge-pump style solution recommended?
Ken Allhands we havnt had any issues with ours
How are you going to drown in something that you can open the door on and it can only fill half way to the top?
I used to pick up cans for CW/Orbit Aluminum in Pryor.....
Dirk Diggler thats awesome
Hope they has free two day shipping on this.
I wonder if they actually have tested these in a tornado? I’d like to see some kind of testing.
whatfreedom7 yes these have been around for many many years here in Oklahoma, saves 1000s of lives every year
whatfreedom7 ..........These were actually tested but it was found that they are only 'storm shelters' and not 'bunkers' as he fails to admit in this video of falsities.
Shipping Containers work too,,1200 to 1800 dollars
Bro do they sell them at all Lowe's or can they deliver them to places that don't have them?
Looks like the Lowe's in Claremore.
It’s much cheaper than I thought. Nice.
Wow. That's neat to see at lowes. Ive never seen one around here but we don't have tornados a whole lot. That's for sharing good buddy. You and your family stay safe.
Would this work in a place like Florida that has a water table that’s just a few inches deep?
I like to have one bigger to be dual duty as a shelter and a root seller.
Hell yeah!
Looks like an ice machine from Canada.
I don't need a storm shelter in Washington but it does look like an instant root cellar to me.
Good price. I ended up paying more and had to rent a skid steer to fix my back yard after Cyclone Shelter destroyed it...
In Oregon people that are living in a wooded area or neighborhood are using these for Wildfire.
I am getting claustrophobic just looking at it.
Make sure it has a liquor cabinet, that always helps
Saw your video, watched your video, saw the OU cap, had to subscribe to your channel. I wish our Wally world sold bunkers period. I will further check out your channel.
Charlie WhatThe? Paranormal Prepper BOOMER!
SOONER!!!
I’ll hit the like button buddy
The door opens outward. What if part of your house or one of your trees lands on the door? Emergency Services will probably find you and clear the debris eventually.l
should have a one way valve for the air intake with a pressure regulator for discharging old air out. Tornado will suck all the air out of a room.
Last year here in Pa. as rare as tornados are here, we had 20 of them, one was only 3 miles away...
They're not rare in Pennsylvania.
Cement sardine can !
Wudd protect u from initial blasts weather etc yupp cool thing,needs a weighted blast door
good video
That would make a good root cellar in Michigan
That’s not bad $3,200 for the shelter and it being installed! I did hear you correct that $3,200 total price correct?
use as a panic room or underground bedroom
I passed a mobile manufacturing place in oklahoma and they are giving away free shrlters with every home purchase
It's most likely already compromised from the water, just leaving it in there to soak into the concrete
Too bad we can't have them in Florida! The concrete is probably mixed with Styro media to make it light weight yet strong as beans! Sure wish I had one but if I dig down to 12 inches, I hit the water table!!!!!!
