At F5 Storm Shelters, we have seen garage flat storm shelters surge in
popularity for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, they offer the
convenience of not having to run into a storm during foul-weather. The
last thing people want to do is run into a driving rain storm as tornado
sirens are going off.
Most neighborhoods and HOA’s now ban the use of outdoor concrete
storm cellars in front yards. Many times, with limited access, front yard
placement is the only viable option for these large outdoor concrete
cellars. With HOA’s restricting them the options narrow down to garage
floor models, or above ground steel safe rooms that also go in the
garage.
Garage tornado shelters that are virtually flush to the concrete don’t
take up valuable room like their counterpart steel safe rooms. For those
with limited garage space, this allows people to drive into their garage
with their vehicles and still access their storm shelter.
These garage models also allow the homeowner to bug spray and keep
pests to a minimum. Also, since these shelters are protected from the
elements, they carry a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.
Whereas, the traditional concrete cellars only offer a 10 year warranty
to the original purchaser. For these reasons, many homeowners are
now choosing the garage flush model to protect their family. However,
like most products in life, we carry a variety of storm shelter products
to fit every situation.

This weekend is the Tulsa Home and Garden Show. It will take place at the River Spirit Expo on the Tulsa Fairgrounds at 21st and Yale. The show runs Friday, July 25th through the afternoon of Sunday, July 27th. This event is free to the public and all ages are welcome. Operating hours for the event are as follows:
SHOW HOURS:
Friday: 12pm-8pm
Saturday: 10am-8pm
Sunday: 11am-5pm
The Home and Garden show is a great event and it presents the perfect time to purchase a storm shelter. As most Oklahomans know, tornado season is wrapping up, so now is the time to make your purchase. Every year for the Home shows and the fair we offer a special reduced rate on all of our underground garage shelters and above ground safe rooms. Typically, we offer our lowest prices of the year on our shelters at these events. You don’t want to wait until storm season is approaching to purchase your storm shelter because the prices are going to be higher.
Another really good reason to buy a storm shelter at this years Home & Garden show is that you avoid the long waiting list. Waiting to purchase a tornado shelter until storm season can mean that you will have to wait months until you get the shelter installed. By the time it’s installed, storm season could very well be over. Right now, you can get set up for install in just a matter of weeks. This insures that you have the storm shelter installed with more then enough time to spare before severe weather is knocking on your door.
If your in the Tulsa area and can’t make it out to the Home and Garden show, we have a showroom at 10846 S. Memorial Dr. (111th / S. Memorial). We are open Monday-Friday 12-6 and Saturday 10am-2pm.
