      Answer This Question

      A:  The slab thickness varies by the size of the slab. If the slab is 12x14 or larger, 4" will be sufficient. If the slab is smaller (5x7) we would require 24".

            Q:The specs indicate a max roof load of 100 pounds. That doesn’t seem safe for debris that comes down around the shelter in a storm (tree, part of house, etc)! Is that correct?

            Answer This Question

            A:  They said max wind load at 250 ( probably for the side) and roof load 100. I would think they mean roof wind load of 100mph and not weight.

              A:  If it's designed per FEMA P320 (and they say that it is) then it should withstand F5 tornado wind speeds of 250 mph and a roof load of 100 pounds per square foot to account for debris.

                    A:  If the shelter is purchased with installation, it will be placed on the pad and anchored in place. If it is purchased for delivery only, the trucking company delivers as curbside delivery.

                      Q:We are considering installing in our garage. There is a second story over the garage. Should the second story colapse in to the garage during the storm, can the shelter withstand the weight or will it be crushed?
