[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1536570, member: 10963"] nice. cutting concrete is easy, but for only a couple hundred bucks, worth it to just let them do it, save you some time on your back with a 3/4 concrete bit in a hammer drill and a jack hammer. done it may times, but that said, still worth it to pay by the time you rent the equipment and loose feeling in your hands and back. we went with one that they drop into the ground, its top is about 2.5 feet above ground. slanted side. we love it but they tear the hell out of the lawn installing it, and if they do not get it packed in right, or if you are going to put a patio around it like we did, make sure rain is not in the forecast by the time you are done, these things seriously float and will shift and make em have to pull it back out and re level and set the hole. i did always like the ones that were under the house, with the sliding doors level to the slab, only down side i can see to them is if the house debri collapses upon it, but i suppose thats why they have you register it with the fire department. only downside i can see to having it under the garage, is if its under your car, have to move your car or not have it in to be in the shelter yourself. but maybe you have a larger garage, or just no space in the back yard at all. i hope you find what you are looking for man, its certainly nice to have one, even if you never need it.
