Protection Shelters community/group shelters have been built for clients of all industries ranging from schools, the Department of Energy, municipalities, housing authorities, mobile home parks, construction sites, and more.

Community shelters are multi-purpose, handicap accessible, and available as build on-site, above ground, deliverable, or rental shelters. All shelters are built with 8” walls and full-sized handicap accessible 36” doors, which are built into walls rather than attached to them. 


Customize Your Community Shelter

Above ground, concrete shelters are custom-built as small as 8X8 to as large as 10X24, delivered to your location, and set in place within 45 days. They require no additional anchoring, just flat level ground.

ADA compliant bathrooms, drop ceilings, and tile floors can make the space feel comfortable and inviting for students, faculty, and community members in the event of a tornado emergency.
