Good to see grandma and aunt jean hanging out on the easy chairs. There’s nothing old folks love more than climbing down a 17’ ladder to hang out and watch TV.
Now, I do have to complement this company on one thing. The “concealed escape hatch,” is seriously concealed, being covered by a foot of dirt. Now that’s dedication… Good luck getting out that way.
EDIT: Well, damn, I thought I was kidding and that the plan view was in error, but it’s actually on purpose (from the manufacturer’s site):
Also, Atlas Shelters have one way in and two ways out! How? With an escape tunnel with an Inward swinging door that cannot be blocked. The escape hatch is 5’ under the surface with a 4’ deep sand layer for protection between the escape hatch and the surface.
And there is a reason for the “mud room”:
Also all our shelters have our proprietory mud room or decontamination room with shower attached to the main body of the shelter. Without this room there is nowhere to store trash or let your animals go to the bathroom. Also some Atlas Shelters have a proprietory bolt-on generator pod with a water-tight hatch door “patent pending”.
