We list our prices unlike most that would rather have a salesman call you.
It also makes it much easier to raise the price after a tornado hits close. We don't price gouge.
Manufacturer direct pricing. Sorry, no further discounts

* Prices are for the unit only and do not include storm shelter installation or shipping. We can install your tornado shelter anywhere in Arkansas or not far across the Arkansas state line. Installation starts at $1,000, depending on distance and shelter size. It does not cover hitting a large amount of rock that our regular machine can not get through without excess time involved. It does not cover hauling off excess dirt; usually, that is $500 extra. It does not cover any extra trips back unless there is a problem during installation. All installers are bonded and insured. We can help arrange for shipping as well. Many people choose to bring a 16' trailer, pick their shelter up, and have someone local install it—all weigh under 4,000 lbs standard. Trailers must be at least 6'8" inside width for the 6x8 size and up. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Time frame
We base turn-around time on getting three-four shelters done a week. That doesn't always happen. Sometimes we get an order for a shelter with almost every option we offer. If it is a 12' model, that can take a week all to itself. Sometimes we can't get the metal for one size and build another size to keep it moving. That puts some ahead and some behind schedule.
We have hired extra help in the past when so many shelters are ordered. We found we spent more time fixing their mistakes, which took a toll on the final product. We think you would rather wait and get the exceptional quality shelter with the same high-quality crew we have used for years. It's what you expect; it's what you will get. Please understand and be patient. Thanks!
Our timeframe quotes can only be a rough estimate.
Shipping and pickup information
Over 60% of our customers are from out-of-state. This information is listed for you that might require information for shipping quotes or the size of the trailer you need to pick up your unit.
Please note when picking up your finished unit, we need at least two business days' notice to make your pickup as easy and smooth as possible.
All shelters except the 5x6 require a trailer at least 6'8" wide inside.
NOTE: After adding more channel supports, we found the weight needed to be updated. We will add the correct weight ASAP.
