Not everyone can go below ground, such as the elderly and handicapped, or due to illness any of us may have trouble with steps. That's the reason we've made this one extra strong, and also had it tested to be sure. We use 10 gauge steel and reinforce it with the 4 inch channel, 4 rows of it which goes up the sides and over the top of the shelter. This also gives you added protection from falling debri.
This makes a safe place for your valuables, but most of all, this shelter is made with your family’s safety in mind, as we know they are the most valuable of all.
If you have questions about lighting and steel units, I have found that a google search of Faraday Cage information to be very informative. A particular YouTube viewing is also a great explanation. It can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t23iXhEiQUc&feature=related&pos=2. The site noted is my favorite to explain that you are safe inside the steel unit, especially so with the fact that the unit we provide has a floor. You are inside of a complete steel box, a faraday cage.
