Although underground storm shelters are more popular, an above-ground steel shipping container storm shelter is often a better choice. Unlike an underground storm shelter, they do not have issues with moisture build-up and require less maintenance. Most underground storm shelters have stairs, which is not needed with an above-ground shelter, making above-ground shelters ideal for easier access and maintenance.
When setting a shipping container up as a storm shelter, you need to make sure the container is secured to the ground. (Steel shipping containers have various places on them that can be utilized as tie-downs.) One option is to place sturdy anchors in concrete and use a steel cable to cinch the shipping container down. That will keep the storm shelter stable and able to endure high wind speeds.
Regardless if above ground or below, constructing a shipping container storm shelter will require a deal of planning and research to make sure it serves its purpose in the event you have to use it.
Our 20′ Standard New Steel Shipping Container boasts a sturdy build, ensuring stored items remain safe from the elements – ideal for an above-ground shelter.
