TORNADO STORM SHELTERS

When a tornado warning is issued, you need more than a storm shelter. You need a shelter you can trust with your family’s life.

Smart Shelters designs, manufactures, and installs patented garage storm shelters throughout Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Kentucky. With four different shelter sizes available, it’s easy to find the right fit for your family, your home, and your budget.

Our patented Triple-Locking Door System sits virtually flush with the garage floor, allowing vehicles to park directly over the shelter while maintaining quick and easy access. Most importantly, the door has never been breached by a debris impact.

For added peace of mind, shelters can be equipped with an optional 8-ton emergency hydraulic jack system. While rarely needed, it’s another layer of protection designed to help families feel confident when severe weather strikes.

Thousands of families have trusted Smart Shelters to help protect what matters most. The only question is: will your family be ready when the next storm arrives?
