How To: Choose the Right Size and Best Location For a Storm Shelter in Oklahoma

The first thing to consider when choosing a location for your storm shelter is its proximity to your home. Most of our customers choose locations close to their homes, which makes sense as the primary purpose of a storm shelter is to protect you from severe weather conditions such as tornadoes. Having your storm shelter close by means you can quickly access it in case of an emergency.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the location you choose should also be easily accessible by our installation team. While we can install a storm shelter in almost any location, it’s important to ensure that our truck and equipment can easily access the site. This will ensure that the installation process is quick, efficient, and safe.

In addition to considering the location of your storm shelter, it’s also important to think about the size and capacity of the storm shelter you need. Our storm shelters come in a range of sizes to accommodate different numbers of people, so it’s important to choose a size that will comfortably fit you and your family in the event of an emergency. It’s also important to consider any special needs you or your family members may have, such as mobility issues or the need for medical equipment.

Finally, it’s important to consider the aesthetic impact of installing a storm shelter in your yard. While the primary purpose of a storm shelter is to protect you and your family, you also want to ensure that it fits in with the overall look and feel of your yard. Our storm shelters are available in a range of sizes and finishes to help them blend in with your yard, and our installation team can help you choose a location that minimizes the impact on your landscaping.

In summary, choosing the best place in your yard to install a storm shelter is an important decision that requires careful consideration. While most of our customers choose locations close to their homes, it’s important to ensure that the location is easily accessible by our installation team. It’s also important to choose the right size and capacity for your shelter, and to consider any special needs you or your family members may have. Finally, it’s important to consider the aesthetic impact of installing a storm shelter in your yard and choose a location that minimizes the impact on your landscaping.
