Storm shelter questions.

Wondering if anyone in the DuncanLawton area has had one installed recently? Thanks

Cost?

I paid $6600 but it looks like they have gone up since then.

Wanted to add: A lot of Credit Unions like the one I'm a member of offer extremely good rates for storm shelter loans. My CU is offering a rate of .75 APR right now.

Get a FLAT SAFE it is hands down the best in garage shelter. It has a flat door that is completely one piece. It opens easy plus the other ones even though they are flat (smooth with floor) are two pieces. So if the back panel was to get a dent or be damage the front door can't slide under to open even with a wench

Had a buddy that couldn't get out of the shelter he had during the Moore tornado. The back panel had damage and the front door couldn't slide back. So he researched it and found flat safe.
And after seeing his I decided that's what I wanted to go with.

Mind me asking what you paid for the shelter? How big?I had a flat safe in a rental house I was in....no problems with it but all those garage installed shelters are tight. Tiny stairs and no room for comfort. I know they serve a purpose but for a little more money it seems the concrete pour might be a better option? The 8x8 concrete pour is $6000

The concrete pour is the way to go. Added patio area and lots of room inside. I had one in my old house and it doubled as a root cellar and I could ferment my home brew down there as it stayed about 62* inside durring summer and in the 50s in winter. Perfect temp. for home brew process. It was very water proof and I put cork board on the walls to kill most of the echo effect. Was big enough for a bed if you wanted one down there. I think that one was about 8'x12' maybe a little bigger.

I agree. I spent a couple of years renting equipment to all of the guys in the OKC area that install the shelters. It give me time to talk to all of them and check out their work.
