Choose the Entry Style That Fits Your Property

Standard Entry (Left)

Our standard in-ground shelter entry features a raised access point with integrated ventilation and a durable 3-foot exterior door. This design provides quick access, excellent visibility, and a clean, finished appearance that works well for many residential properties.

Easy Entry (Right)

Our easy entry in-ground shelter is designed with accessibility and comfort in mind. Featuring an extended stair configuration, additional step depth, a sturdy handrail system, and a 4-foot entry door, this option provides a more gradual descent into the shelter.

Accessibility Options

We offer multiple stair configurations to help homeowners choose the entry style that best fits their property and accessibility needs.

Standard Entry Stairs

Our standard underground shelters feature a traditional 4-step entry system designed for quick and reliable access while maintaining a compact footprint.

Easy Entry Stairs

For those looking for a more comfortable entry experience, our Easy Entry option features a wider, less steep 5-step design that extends farther from the shelter. This configuration provides a more gradual descent, making entry and exit easier for children, seniors, and anyone who prefers additional accessibility.

Extended Entry Kit

Our extension kit option allows the shelter opening and ventilation system to be extended beyond the main structure. This design can be covered with dirt, grass, landscaping, or flower beds to help the shelter blend naturally into its surroundings while maintaining safe and accessible entry.

Limitation of Liability (Design): Kingdom Built Refuge shelters can not predict actual performance of any structure for tornadoes or severe storms, but this design incorporates current knowledge to best protect the occupants. The engineer and fabricator shall not be obligated or liable for actual, incidental, consequential, or other damages to users of this shelter for any purpose, including those installing or maintaining thereof.
