Walk-In Storm Shelter: No Stairs. No Ladders. Just Walk In.
Ground-level entry for your whole family. The Walk-In shelter offers the simplest, most accessible entry of any of our designs - simply open the door and step inside.
Based on industry-standard square footage per occupant. Actual comfortable capacity varies by household. Please allow additional space for pets, mobility aids, or other personal needs.
The Perfect Balance of Access & Protection
Ground-Level Access
Simply open the door and walk in. No stairs, no ladders, no descending - just step through the doorway. Contact us to learn more about custom ramps that can be included.
Wide Ground-Level Doorway
The 33" × 63" doorway accommodates many standard wheelchairs and walkers. Because chair dimensions vary, we recommend measuring your specific device and scheduling a site visit before purchase. Ramps can be included if requested.
Simple, Direct Entry
Walking through a door is the most familiar entry method. When severe weather strikes, the Walk-In lets your whole family get inside without stairs or ladders.
Ideal for Pets
Dogs of most sizes can walk in alongside your family. No struggling to carry pets down stairs or lower them through hatches.
Reinforced Construction
Over 10,000 pounds of reinforced concrete with the same spacious interior as all our models. Ground-level convenience and a full steel door.
