First I would like to apologize to the readers not in the United States, I have not had a chance to review any bunkers built out side of this country. I would think, that they would be similar in construction. So,  I have five companies that I will do a quick review over. I have added each companies web address above the sample picture of their product. First, all of the different bunker designs come furnished, they all come with a filtration system, they have sleeping quarters, kitchens, bunks or beds. Really, I cant find much different as far as the equipment that come with the original price, for each bunker. And as far as quality, it seems that they are all made of durable material, that has been well designed and tested. I think that it comes down to what you want. If you have the money to buy one, it seems that the Hardened Structures and North West Shelter System might be the higher cost. I figure it is because they are made on site.

North West Shelter System =Disaster Bunkers - concrete structures, box style structures. Idaho, http://www.northwestsheltersystems.com/process.php


The Rising S Company and Deep Earth Bunkers produce their bunkers off site in their warehouses. They are similar in design and are made from welding steal together to make the structure.

The Utah Shelter Systems and Atlas Survival Shelters use corrugated drainage pipe as a raw material. They cap off the ends add doors, then use smaller corrugated pipe to make the exits. It is a smart idea and simple to outfit, and it gives a lot of interior versatility.

Over all it depends on what you want and can afford. I have seen bunkers from over a million dollars to this small Atlas above for $29,900. The nice thing is that they come ready to bury, you don't have to do much work. But, I think you could still do one your self, using a container or a corrugated pipe, and reinforce it and equip it cheaper than a pre-fab one. Anyway, out of these companies I think I would use the Rising S Company, based on the location of the company to my land. The one that I like the best is the Utah Shelter System, based on the simplicity of the design. But, they are  far from home. Over all the five companies have great products and I am glad to see we have more than one to choose from.

  6. The biggest problem with these prefabricated corrugated steel shelters is that they sweat and draw in moisture. Even Sharon Packard, the owner of Utah Shelter Systems is honest about this fact in her own structures. Concrete shelters are the best, keyways keep the moisture out and concrete is by far more superior in proving protection against threats. There are a few companies here in the US that offer concrete structures and all of the needed equipment (blast doors, blast hatches, NBC air filtration systems etc.) Northwest Shelter Systems and Disaster Bunkers to name a few. I would encourage folks to do your research before choosing a company.
