    he first thing you need to do before even considering this storm shelter is to determine whether you have a Post Tensioned Slab. If your slab is Post Tensioned (high tensioned cables running through the concrete), you will have no way to anchor the shelter. NEVER DRILL INTO A POST TENSIONED SLAB. If you should drill into a cable, even nick a cable, you risk the destruction of the concrete slab as well as injury or death. There may be services available that can locate and mark the cable locations using x-ray or a metal detector so you can avoid them, but you have to consider the risk. Aside your own safety, you can destroy your house.

      We require a concrete slab to bolt to. You have three different options. You can do 8' x8' slab at 4" thick. a 7'x7' slab at 6" thick with 2" of the slab buried below the ground. Or a 5'x5' slab at 24" thick with 20" of slab buried below the ground. The concrete just has to be 3000 PSI.

      we use RedHead Anchor Bolts to mount the Twister Pod to the concrete. This means there is 4600 lbs of pressure per bolt, and there are 12 bolts! That’s 55,200 pounds of pressure that keeps that unit securely in place, we haven't seen any of our shelters moved off a slab even in EF5 events.

      @@survive-a-storm that's a great sales pitch and all. But I'm still gonna stick with the old fashioned hole in the ground. If there's one thing I know for SURE about tornadoes. It's that they're unpredictable and capable of things FAR worse than we could imagine and as long as you're below ground. You're safe... I've SEEN tornadoes throw sticks through concrete. I've also seen a tornado move a whole hospital building 4 inches off its slab... Even IF your pod IS safely mounted and WON'T budge. There's no telling what could penetrate through its walls. Or what huge thing could be thrown at it, crushing it, with you inside... With climate change and its affect on weather as well as some of the ridiculously powerful tornadoes we've already seen here somewhat recently. I wouldn't be surprised if some day, we gotta add a level or 2 to the Fujita scale

    Has that shelter been tested by 3rd parties to withstand over 250mph winds and being hit by flying 2x4's. 3/8 anchor bolts are a bit small for a shelter you want to withstand EF5 tornado in. I would advise people to shop around and look at metal thickness and size of anchor bolts being used.
