  • Reserving your item from the next available shipment.
  • Exploring comparable in-stock alternatives, if available.

Delivery, Placement & Installation Questions

How much is shipping and where will the shelter be delivered?

Survive-A-Storm shelters ship by specialized freight carrier. Freight is charged separately based on the delivery state and is displayed at checkout. Standard freight charges range from $150 to $1,025 across our eligible delivery states. Georgia freight is $150. Standard freight delivery is generally curbside or to the accessible end of the driveway and does not include moving the shelter into a garage, through a gate, onto a backyard or exterior pad, or to another final installation location.

Which states do you deliver shelters to?

We currently deliver Survive-A-Storm shelters only to Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

We do not currently offer shelter delivery to states outside this list.

What is the freight charge for my state?

$150: Georgia

$350: Alabama, South Carolina

$475: Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, Kentucky, Florida

$575: Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana

$750: Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia

$825: Oklahoma, Wisconsin

$900: Michigan, Texas

$950: Maryland, Delaware

$1,025: Pennsylvania, New Jersey

Freight is added at checkout. Any model-specific hotshot, special-access, or additional unloading services must be confirmed separately before ordering.

Why is freight charged separately from the shelter price?

These shelters are large, heavy steel products that require specialized freight transportation, and delivery costs vary significantly by destination. Keeping freight separate allows Home Power Tech to keep the shelter price itself highly competitive while charging a transparent destination-based freight rate. Your applicable freight charge is shown at checkout before payment.

How long does delivery take?

Estimated delivery is generally 15–20 business days. Delivery timing may vary based on product availability, freight-carrier scheduling, destination, weather, holidays, and access conditions. Freight carriers may contact you to coordinate delivery.

Does curbside delivery include unloading or moving the shelter?

Standard curbside delivery does not include moving the shelter from the offloading point to its final installation location. For hotshot or flatbed deliveries, the customer is responsible for unloading. Confirm the unloading arrangements for your exact model before ordering. A forklift, pallet jack, tractor with forks, or other suitable equipment may be needed. The property must be safely accessible to the delivery truck.

Does this shelter arrive assembled?

Yes. TwisterPod, TwisterPod Max, and Extreme models are manufactured as fully welded, one-piece steel shelters. The shelter itself does not require panel assembly, but it still must be safely unloaded, moved to the final location, and properly anchored to suitable concrete.

Is installation included in the product price?

No. Installation, anchoring, final placement, and specialized unloading are not included in the listed product price unless expressly stated otherwise. Professional placement and installation may be available for a separate quote in select service areas. Availability depends on the ZIP code, shelter model, site access, concrete, required equipment, installer travel, and scheduling.

Where may professional installation be available?

Professional service may be available in select areas of Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas, subject to address and installer confirmation. Call, email, or leave a note with your ZIP code, shelter model, intended location, and requested services so we can obtain a quote. Customers outside a supported area may use a qualified local contractor and the model-specific manufacturer instructions.

What can an installation or placement quote include?

Depending on availability and the property, a separate quote may include specialized unloading, moving the shelter from the curb to an accessible garage or prepared pad, drilling, anchoring, and professional installation. Concrete-pad construction is not automatically included and must be specifically confirmed in writing.

Does the shelter have to be anchored to concrete?

Yes. Above-ground Survive-A-Storm shelters must be anchored using the manufacturer-specified anchoring layout and hardware. Many installations use an existing concrete foundation, but concrete thickness, condition, strength, edge distance, reinforcement, cracks, utilities, and local requirements must be evaluated for the exact model and site. Do not pour a pad or assume an existing slab is suitable solely from general website language—confirm the model-specific instructions first.

Can the manufacturer pour the concrete pad?

Survive-A-Storm states that its factory installation teams do not pour concrete. If a new pad is needed, it generally must be prepared by a qualified local concrete contractor before shelter placement or installation, following the exact shelter requirements.

Where can this model be installed?

TwisterPod and Extreme models may be placed in suitable garages, carports, patios, yards, or other locations with appropriate access and concrete. Because the shelter arrives as a single welded unit, verify the entire delivery and placement path—including gates, doors, garage openings, overhead clearance, turns, and equipment access—before ordering.

Can I install it myself or use a local contractor?

Manufacturer instructions and installation resources are available, and capable customers or qualified local contractors may perform installation where permitted. Professional installation by an NSSA-accredited installer is recommended and is required by the manufacturer to certify the shelter with an NSSA Type 4 Seal. Permits and inspection requirements vary locally.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Confirm occupancy needs, exterior dimensions, weight, door swing, final footprint, ceiling height, freight-truck access, unloading plan, the full route to the final location, concrete suitability, anchoring access, local permits, and whether you need placement or installation assistance. Include pets, mobility needs, emergency supplies, and desired comfort when choosing capacity.

Can Home Power Tech help me plan the order?

Yes. Send us the product link, delivery ZIP code, photos of the curb and access route, intended final location, doorway or gate measurements, concrete information, and whether you want curb-to-pad placement, or full anchoring. We’ll help identify the questions that must be resolved before purchase.
