On July 27, 2009, and again on August 24, 2018, a debris impact test was preformed by the Wind Science and Engineering Research Center at Lubbock, Texas, on a Safe Sheds storm shelter door. The door was subjected to three impacts by a 15 lb. 2” x 4” board, fired at a speed of 100 mph, from the impact cannon. The door passed all tests and was found to meet the engineering requirements of FEMA Pub. 320 and 361 for storm shelter doors.

Safe Sheds storm shelters have been designed and peer-reviewed by engineers who’s area of expertise are wind engineering. We adhere to strict quality control measures designed to ensure that every storm shelter we make will provide “near absolute protection” to our customers, as required by FEMA Pub. 320/361 and ICC-500. The documents below verify our design certification and testing.
