Has anyone made or considered a very low cost Underground StormShelter ? Need some advice.

Ive researched many professionally made Fiberglass/Concrete/Metal

over $3500.00 *. * Id like to sink some kind of a waterproof box that
would fit one adult ... approx. 3 feet into the ground , located in
the corner of my garage which currently is very sandy soil. *The box
would need to have a removable/swing down lid with *the top 6" of the
box above ground level. The top would need to be well secured from
within the box once the person is inside. *To ensure it remains water
proof, i would line the hole with a double layer of thick plastic
sheeting.

Ive tried doing a google search under 'Fiberglass Boxes' *and 'Cargo
Boxes' *and cannot find something suitable. *I have considered a thick
fiberglass auto cargo carrier if i could find one 6' long by 3'
wide . * Do you have any idea what I could use as a low cost
solution *? *Looking to get away with spending no more than a few
hundred dollars at most. Thanks much.

Do you have an underground basement?

If so I recall that some people will build a safe room in one corner
using concrete block.
