The Panelized Above Ground Tornado Shelter is a steel storm shelter designed to provide protection from EF5 tornado winds and debris. Its panelized construction allows it to be assembled in locations such as a closet, bedroom, basement, or garage.

Available in multiple sizes, the shelter accommodates groups ranging from 5 to 16 people. Its modular panel construction also allows the shelter to be relocated in the event of a move.

Professional installation by an NSSA-accredited installer is recommended and is required to certify the shelter with an NSSA Type 4 Seal. Installation is also suitable for customers who choose a DIY assembly approach using the official installation instructions.
