The "Jumbo" is our largest in-ground shelter model with its 6'10"x 10' interior. The ceiling height inside is 6'3" inches and the shelter is rated for 10 to 12 people. Designed on the time tested Original unit, the Jumbo gives you lots of room to stretch out. The added space is especially nice if you are in an area subject to extended storms. Built to standards recommended by FEMA, the Jumbo is constructed of 6,000 PSI concrete with fibermesh and reinforced with 1/2" inch rebar every 9 inches running both directions. The walls of the shelter are 4" thick while the roof and floor are 5" thick. The Jumbo weighs in at approximately 20,000 lbs. This model comes with an 8" turbine vent, a 6" capped vent, an interior fixed staircase with dual hand rails, a leak proof 14 gauge steel door with three high strength hinges and a three point/lockable latch & handle. The door also has a support cylinder that makes it easy to open and close. The Jumbo is installed 4 1/2 ft. into the ground with approximately 2 ft. remaining above grade. The dirt from the excavation hole is then mounded around the above grade portion on three sides creating a small mound and completely surrounding the shelter with earth. Normal installation can be completed in 3 to 4 hours.

Electricity, Telephone, Etc. Our shelters do not come pre-wired for electricity or any other utilities. These items can be added by the customer following installation if desired. We recommend using a licensed professional electrician or telephone installer to handle these additions. For concrete shelters, we recommend having your electrician drill any necessary conduit access holes in the base of one of the vent pipes on the shelter. This allows for easy installation and easier reseal than a hole drilled through concrete. We have had customers who have had electricity, telephone and even air conditioning added to their shelters following installation. In some cases, a cell phone will work in these units but it varies by location. Safe rooms can be modified for electricity and telephone by simply running conduit below the door.
