  • Patent number: 8776453
    Abstract: A storm shelter that is configured specifically to facilitate erecting while also providing highly effective protection from high winds and other environmental phenomena is provided. In essence, the storm shelter includes the same exact size and shape panels, except for a single panel to allow for door placement, that permit expansion of shelter size in accordance with the builder's choice. Such panels are attachable to individual angle connectors to permit the initial creation of three-membered, U-shaped panel composites. Each composite may then be connected with another composite until the proper length of the building shell is provided. End panels are then attached with a door configuration on one end as well to complete the structure. Upon attachment to a solid surface, the user thus has an easily erected protective storm shelter. Utilization of proper gauge steel and a properly reinforced steel door, the shelter exceeds 250 MPH wind protection levels.
