Frequently Asked Questions:
How long does installation take?
Most outdoor shelters are installed the same day, in about 4–5 hours.
Which is better, concrete or steel?
Both protect your family. Concrete offers stand-up headroom and more mass, and it’s ideal for larger properties with room for equipment access. Steel fits more yards and has a shock-assisted door that’s easy to open. We’ll help you decide based on your property.
What do I need to prepare?
We’ll review your yard, access for our equipment, and the best placement during your consultation.
How do I reserve an installation date?
A $500.00 deposit reserves your spot. The remaining balance is due on installation day. In-house financing is available.
Do you charge for travel?
We install across Kentucky and Tennessee. Installations more than 40 miles from our Hopkinsville facility may include a per-mile travel charge.
