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

Ive researched many professionally made Fiberglass/Concrete/Metal underground storm shelters but the cost is prohibitive..usually well 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. TMT |
