Engineered Steel Protection for Residential, Commercial & Custom Applications

Not Sure Which Shelter Is Right for You?

Choosing the right storm shelter depends on available space, accessibility needs, site conditions, and whether the project involves an existing home or new construction. SteelSafe works directly with property owners across North Alabama to recommend the safest and most practical solution based on how and where the shelter will be used.

Custom Sizes, Commercial Shelters & Large Underground Builds

While the models shown above represent our most common residential storm shelter configurations, SteelSafe Shelters is not limited to standard sizes or capacities. Custom sizing is available for all SteelSafe shelter models, allowing adjustments for footprint, depth, access points, and occupant capacity. SteelSafe also designs and fabricates commercial storm shelters for schools, churches, businesses, and municipal properties where higher occupancy and non-standard layouts are required.

In addition, SteelSafe engineers and builds large underground bunker-style shelters that can be designed for extended or habitable use. These projects go beyond typical residential storm shelter construction and are planned through an engineering-driven consultation process based on intended use, site conditions, and long-term occupancy needs. These custom and commercial shelter projects are commonly built across North Alabama, where soil conditions, weather risk, and site constraints require experienced local design and installation.ptions.

Important:
Custom sizes are available for all SteelSafe models. Commercial shelters and large underground shelters—including extended or habitable designs—are built to specification and are not limited to the standard products shown on this page. Consultation is required to evaluate feasibility and design options.

Why SteelSafe Builds What Others Won’t

Many storm shelter providers are limited to fixed-size models and standard residential installations. SteelSafe Shelters is a manufacturer and fabricator, allowing us to engineer and construct shelters that fall outside typical off-the-shelf offerings.

From oversized underground shelters to complex commercial installations and extended-use designs, SteelSafe has the fabrication capability and engineering experience to take on projects that other companies decline. This flexibility allows us to support higher-capacity, higher-value projects without compromising safety or build quality.
