Why Choose a Cylinder-Shaped Shelter Over Square or Rectangular Designs?
When it comes to storm shelters, not all designs are created equal. At New Day Tornado Shelters, we’ve engineered our shelters with a cylinder shape to provide superior protection, strength, and reliability. Here’s why a cylinder-shaped shelter outperforms square or rectangular designs:
1. Superior Structural Integrity
The cylindrical design evenly distributes external pressure, making it more resistant to crushing forces. During a tornado, flying debris and high winds create immense pressure. A cylinder’s natural curves deflect and disperse these forces, reducing the risk of structural failure compared to flat-walled designs.
2. Better Wind Resistance
Square and rectangular shelters have flat surfaces that create resistance to high winds, increasing the likelihood of tipping or damage. In contrast, a cylinder’s rounded shape minimizes wind drag, allowing it to stay grounded and intact even during the most intense storms.
3. Enhanced Durability
Our cylinder-shaped shelters are crafted from 3/8” heavy-duty steel, providing exceptional durability. Combined with the shape’s natural strength, this design offers unmatched resilience against debris impact and pressure.
4. Optimized Space Utilization
The cylinder’s interior provides an efficient use of space, offering ample room for occupants while maintaining a compact footprint. This means more comfort for your family without compromising the structural integrity or taking up too much space in your garage.
5. Easier Installation and Stability
The streamlined shape of a cylindrical shelter allows for easier installation and anchoring compared to bulkier, angular designs.
6. Proven Performance
Cylinder-shaped structures have long been used in engineering projects like pipelines and silos due to their unparalleled strength and efficiency. This same principle makes them ideal for tornado shelters, where performance under extreme conditions is non-negotiable.

Stay Safe in an Above-Ground Storm Shelter
Many of us have been told that below-ground storm shelters are the only shelters that are safe. However, in recent years, above-ground shelters have become just as safe as well as certified. To learn more, we recommend watching the video below.
