Survive-A-Storm Shelters, a leading provider of tornado shelters, has recently introduced its 3x5 Extreme Shelter, a product aimed at offering small families and individuals a high level of protection in the face of severe weather. This new shelter comes in response to the increasing demand for practical, space-efficient, and secure emergency shelters that can withstand the most dangerous conditions. Developed with direct feedback from customers, the 3x5 Extreme Shelter is engineered to offer safety without sacrificing comfort or practicality.
The 3x5 Extreme Shelter is FEMA-rated, meaning it has undergone extensive testing to meet stringent standards for tornado protection. Capable of withstanding wind speeds of over 400 kilometers per hour, approximately 250 miles per hour, this shelter offers maximum protection against EF5 tornadoes, the most powerful type, capable of causing extreme damage. Constructed from quarter-inch thick steel, it not only protects occupants from violent winds but also provides an additional layer of security with a National Institute of Justice Level 2A ballistics rating. This means that it is also effective against certain types of ballistic threats, ensuring a higher level of safety for those inside.
A key selling point of the 3x5 Extreme Shelter is its design, which makes it ideal for individuals and small families. Measuring 3 meters by 5 meters, approximately 10 feet by 16 feet, the shelter is compact yet spacious enough to accommodate up to five people comfortably. Despite its compact footprint, the shelter offers generous headroom of 1.98 meters (6.5 feet), providing enough space for individuals to stand up and move around without feeling cramped. This thoughtful design ensures that the shelter is usable not only during extreme weather events but also as a long-term safety solution.
The shelter’s exterior is coated with a durable industrial-grade coating, designed to resist the elements and offer long-lasting performance even in harsh weather conditions. This feature is particularly important for families living in areas frequently impacted by storms. In addition to its sturdy build, the 3x5 Extreme Shelter comes with a secure 3-point locking system, offering enhanced protection from intruders or outside threats. The shelter is also equipped with a proper ventilation system, ensuring that the air quality remains fresh for those seeking refuge inside for extended periods.
One of the most innovative aspects of the 3x5 Extreme Shelter is its ability to be anchored to existing concrete surfaces, such as a garage floor or patio, with a minimum thickness of 10 centimeters (about 4 inches). This anchoring capability makes installation easier and more versatile, allowing homeowners to place the shelter in a location that is already familiar and convenient. Moreover, the shelter includes a built-in storage bench, which provides a safe place to store emergency supplies, vital documents, and other essential items, offering peace of mind to families in the worst-case scenario.
This product has been designed to meet the needs of modern homeowners who seek both security and convenience. "At Survive-A-Storm, our goal is to always listen to the needs of our customers," said Jeremy Smith, Vice President of RedGuard Diversified Structures, the parent company of Survive-A-Storm. "The 3x5 Extreme Shelter is a direct response to those looking for a compact, yet powerful, solution that offers both safety and practicality for small families or individuals."
The 3x5 Extreme Shelter is now available for purchase directly through Survive-A-Storm’s official website or from its authorized retailers. Potential buyers can also reach out to Survive-A-Storm’s customer service for more details on installation, pricing, and customization options.
