The Estate Below Ground Tornado Shelter is designed for installation in a yard or field outside a home or building. Its underground configuration combines a powder-coated finish with an entry stairway and interior seating for residential severe-weather protection.

Available in Estate and Estate Max configurations, the shelter provides bench seating on three sides and accommodates either 10 or 16 occupants depending on the selected size. A steel handrail and non-slip stair treads provide additional convenience when entering from the surface.

Installation requires excavation and proper site preparation. Professional installation by an NSSA-accredited installer is recommended and required to certify the shelter with an NSSA Type 4 Seal.
