Choosing a Storm Shelter Is About More Than Capacity
The right shelter is not just about how many people it holds. Placement, access and how you'll actually use it matter too.
01
How Easy Is It to Reach?
Think about children, older family members, pets and anyone with mobility concerns. The best shelter is one you can get to quickly.
02
Where Will You Be During Severe Weather?
Consider where you are most likely to be when a warning is issued and how far you'll need to go to reach the shelter.
03
Who Needs to Fit?
Plan for everyone who may need to shelter with you, including family members, guests and pets.
04
What Does Your Property Allow?
Available space, slab conditions, access and site layout can all affect which shelter and installation make the most sense.
Not sure how those pieces come together? That is exactly what Midwest Mini Barns can help you figure out.
Need to Spread Out the Cost?
Financing can make it easier to move forward with your storm shelter and installation without paying the full project cost upfront.

Storm Shelter FAQs: Cost, Installation + Choosing the Right Shelter
Do you install storm shelters?
Yes. Midwest Mini Barns sells and professionally installs above-ground, below-ground and commercial storm shelters. We prefer to handle the installation so you have one team from purchase through completion, but shelter-only purchases are available too.
Should I choose an above-ground or below-ground storm shelter?
It depends on your property and how you want to access the shelter. Above-ground storm shelters are easy to enter without stairs, while below-ground options can be installed beneath a garage floor or outdoors. If you're not sure which makes sense, tell us a little about your property and we'll help you compare the options.
How much does a storm shelter cost?
Pricing depends on the shelter type, size, installation and site conditions. We'll give you clear pricing based on the shelter and setup that make sense for your property.
What size storm shelter do I need?
Start with the number of people who may need to use it. We offer residential storm shelters for smaller households as well as larger families, plus commercial options for businesses and organizations. We can help you choose a capacity without paying for more shelter than you need.
Do you deliver storm shelters?
Yes. Midwest Mini Barns offers free delivery within 100 miles of our Winston, Missouri location, with professional installation available.
Can you install a storm shelter in a garage?
Yes. Several above-ground shelters can work in garage spaces, and the GarageCube is specifically designed for installation beneath a garage floor. The right option depends on your available space, slab and property, which we can review with you before installation.
