Think About Building

a Tornado Safe Room in Your New Garage

If you order a 36' model, your new garage slab will provide the right space to bolt down a safe room for your family, and still have plenty of room for 2 large vehicles.

You will be 3/4 of the way to having a federally approved tornado safe room.This will work best if you plan to place your garage near your bedrooms. If you plan to finance your garage, for instance in a home improvement type loan, be sure to include the safe room in the loan. The price will depend on the number of people in your family (about 5 sq. feet per person needed), and which of the approved materials you choose. (This partially depends on the wind area in which you live.)
