Protect Your Family
Protect your family, large or small, from tornadoes and other weather dangers with a Southern Home Safety storm shelter. Southern Home Safety offers large and small sizes to accommodate most families and commercial installations.
Our storm shelters and safe rooms have a wheelchair accessible, 36" wide, ADA-compliant entry. The inside height is 6' 9".
Why Southern Home Safety?
Our family-friendly storm shelters have a double-plated steel door and rebar-reinforced concrete walls that average 6¾" thick and a 6" thick rebar-reinforced ceiling and floor.
Southern Home Safety tornado shelters are extremely heavy with approximate weights of 10 to 17 tons depending on the size you need! While our door weighs more than 600 pounds, it swings easily and is senior-friendly.
Our storm shelters can also serve as safe rooms or walk-in safes in the event of a home invasion, emergency or other disaster.
Southern Home Safety works closely with FEMA and Emergency Management Agencies in each state during times of disaster for quick installation of shelters for those in need.

You are a breath of fresh air to us. You were so prompt and organized with the sell, delivery and set up of our storm shelter. Thank you!!!

“I just wanted to thank you again for being so prompt in installing the storm shelter on my son’s property in New Albany shortly after the tornado hit Tupelo.
The tornado that came across North Mississippi last week hit farther north but could just as easily have hit them. While the tornado sirens were blaring I got a text ‘we are in the storm house’. Peace of mind has no price tag.”
