For anybody who is building, consider having them make your master closet a storm shelter/safe room. We have that in our current home and WOW! So much better than going out to the hot garage or wet backyard. Steps away & air conditioned!
For us one person in the hole, and one on the outside with one hand on the scruff of the neck and the other under the butt to hand them down. They are no longer spring chickens.You know, I hadn't thought about actually training them to go down there. I was actually thinking about getting a piece of plywood to use as a slide. With me on the outside and the side on the inside, I figured I'd just give them a boost and let them slide down.
last house had an underground, and I just practiced a routine with the kids about who goes first down the ladder. Oldest would stand at the bottom and my wife and I would squat over the entrance and run relay into the storm shelter. In the Navy we had small ramps that were hinged on each side where the hand rails bolted to the ladder, you could fold them down (each half width of the stair) to make it smooth. You could fashion this from plywood and just slide them down tooDoes anyone have any suggestions for how to get your dogs into and out of the shelter? I have 2 fat boxers and it is NOT easy to get them to go down or up stairs, especially in a stressful moment like when I'd need to be in the shelter.
I REALLY like this idea. I may have to look into doing something like this.

You can buy a magnetic cover from Smart Safe I think it was, but they are well over $100. For mine, I only need about 27in x 72in. Amazon will run around 40-50 bucks for one, but Lowes has some stuff they will cut to length, its 36in wide, and will run be about $20 for a 7 ft piece.
Its in the carpet section. Several to choose from, black ribbed vinyl, clear, diamond plate, carpeted, etcYou have a link to or where in the store Lowe's has this, is it magnetic as well??
