We're starting to see more and more of these. Wondering how others handle these? Permit required? Contractor license required to install? Other thoughts?
Why not? It was "storm" sewer pipe - sounds perfect!gbhammer said:We had some one try and use a section of precast storm sewer pipe as a storm shelter. We did'nt let it get over the counter.

..handrails, ..ground water infiltration, etc.?
Just heard a news story on the way home today. Surveys are apparently being taken of those who have these shelters installed so that the people in them can be located in the aftermath. Didn't catch if it was a local deal or national. FWIW I wouldn't want one if I didn't have a pretty reasonable assurance of a way out, no matter what the obstacle. I also don't think I would necessarily want anyone else to know about my "bunker" either. I have ICC-500 and recommend it but have not adopted it. Mostly I have people rigging their own up.
I once saw an old van buried in the backyard of a mobile home. The rear doors were exposed so people could climb in and out. Redneck storm shelter. One day I'm going to get a picture of that sucker.Sifu said:Mostly I have people rigging their own up.
