What are you seeing installed for underground storm shelters? Structual design and ventilation would all be issues.
 
Re: Storm Shelters

Not seeing any, at least not that have applied for a permit... :)
 
Re: Storm Shelters

Seeing nothing.

I think they hide them underground!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: Storm Shelters

Safe rooms were the next big thing in Florida during the bubble...nothing underground though.

It was all well and good (and expensive) except for the door which was never adressed.

No specs for anchoring, no requirement that it swing inward.
