I do have to admit I’d have thought it’d cost a lot more. I haven’t looked at the link but I will...

I have looked at many of them but the cost is high,the only thing missing is air filtration ,,,

You can actually do a lot in a space that size to make it very functional and liveable. Just think about RV living and most of those are under 36'. Nice thing is you can customize to fit your personal needs. I thought it would have cost more too. It doesn't look like its buried too deep either. Assuming since septic tanks are made out of fiberglass, this would hold up being buried?

no offense but it's essentially a coffin. I would need much more living space

Being round would help with it being buried. I’m liking this.

Now I’ve seen gg’s air filter post. In the south, the sun would eat fiberglass, so burying it would be best.

I would cover it with about 3 ft of soil

yea, the adults are talking about this:

I have looked at all different shelters/bunkers on Youtube and from handyman specials to the ultra max and I see so many flaws for what the average person may have, the entrance for most would be easy for someone to make it your tomb, easily blocked...human waste would be a big issue if you had to stay in one more than a few days, you would need a holding tank and a way to seal off the smell....a sizable water tank would also have to buried and plumbed. I would want a second entrance/exit, possible 24-36 inch pipe ran into a wooded area or into a building, something that could be hidden well. Some type of a multiple wired 12v camera system so you could have a clue of what the heck is going on outside. A hand pump hydraulic jack and ram may be a good idea to force open a blocked entrance. A separate smaller bunker for all the stuff you may need for when you come out, naturally with a buried concealed entrance, something you could store gas, generator, tools, guns, ammo and all the stuff your living bunker would not need or have room for.....or maybe several caches in the area. I don't see me ever affording a livable bunker, but it's still something to think about...

I would never put one in an open area,after installation I would plant small shrubs something on the order of blackberries with a small path to the entrance

 

[WGregMiller]

Me too. I’m just thinking that here storm shelters are as common as fleas on a dogs butt, so it wouldn’t be so obvious if somebody tripped over it.

Making me think, at the very least. Worst case it could be a tornado shelter.

 

[user 6493]

I see this as a very doable project the complete build should be under 20k

 

[Skeeter]

Is the main point safety from various sorts of explosions and fallout from them?

 

[Dani]

I enjoyed their video of the Ultra Deer Tower. . . I mean dang it makes me want one! I hope they will eventually do a video on the Ultra Shelter to show people just how much space and storage tiny living can really be. If you've never done it before you probably don't realize.

skeet most of us will not be in a blast zone,I don't think I would trust this for a blast zone,,,fallout is our main concern ,this is large enough to live in for a couple weeks without losing your mind

after seeing your comment here why not put a couple inches of concrete on the top of it

 

[WGregMiller]

We’re thinking alike.

They started putting fiberglass storm shelters in here years ago. At first, they were putting concrete below them, then putting the shelters in the wet concrete. That worked except where the water table was high, so some of them floated out of the ground.

Now they’re doing the same plus pouring on top and the sides. That fixed it.

Where I have in mind, it probably wouldn’t be a problem, but I still think it wouldn’t be a bad idea....

I would like to know just how strong these tanks are,,can you drive a car over them once buried or will you have to keep anything heavy away from them,,,I am going to have to call these people

If you do, please let us know what they say.

 

[Dani]

When we installed the septic down at the beach property we were told not to drove on that section where the tank was buried or where the drain lines are.

 

[user 6493]

If you do, please let us know what they say.

I bet they are closed and will not be in until Monday,,,I will try calling them after work Monday

I think that would be the hardest part.... keeping sane in such a small space for so long. I would have to have a good source of entertainment. 2 weeks would probably feel like 2 years.

 

[DrHenley]

Your heating and cooling costs would be minimal. My BIL was talking about putting something underground, or covered with dirt at the BOL for sleeping in hot weather in the event of losing electricity for the A/C. Summer can be brutal. It doesn't need to be fully functional living quarters, just a bunkroom.

Security-wise, if your main dwelling is above ground and you get invaded in the middle of the night, they will just think nobody is home...giving you an element of surprise in dealing with them.

 

[jontte]

by looking at the pics,my guess they are strong enough,as there seems to be those reinforceing rings along the body

 

[Psalm7]

In this part of the Country it would get used multiple times from spring through fall as a tornado shelter. Iv saw nice brick homes that were hit during a tornado touchdown and You couldn't find a pice much bigger than a foot ball .

 

[lonewolf]

i think i'd only want a bunker if it was all out nuclear war, otherwise i'd rather be above ground for my sanity.

 

[Dani]

I was wondering what would happen when it floods too. In this area there were coffins that came out of the ground at the cemeteries. I don't know if they were freshly dug graves or what. Concert both on bottom and top may be the answer but if you can not drive on a septic tank can you pour concert on these? I did like the fact that these were repurposed fuel tanks if I remember correctly so maybe more durable.
I guess another question is, is its lid waterproof if submerged or do you need to build it up to make sure in case of flooding?

 

[drt4lfe]

In Afghanistan we had 6ft concrete culverts all over the place to get into for any incoming shells....you could do the same for an above ground shelter, just anchor it into the ground and use steel plate on the ends to make entrances/exits and fresh air vents,,,, and you could bury them also....
