*No concrete is included for new construction installation. It is suggested, not required, that the client order out 1 yard of concrete to keep shelter in place until slab is poured.
Order, Delivery, and Shelter Installation Process
- As the client, you will go to your nearest Lowe's store and order your shelter. You will pay Lowe's for the shelter only, plus applicable sales tax.
- Next comes the delivery and install. Your shelter will be delivered directly to the store in which it was ordered from, typically within 10 business days. It is your choice on how you wish to handle the install process of your shelter. You can install the shelter yourself or arrange for a local contractor in your area to install it. In either case, the factory will provide you a full color install manual, complete with pictures and instructions, upon your request. Should you be in a market that has an installer currently in place, the factory can assist you with arranging the install. To find out if your area is currently serviced by an installer already in place, go to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . In the subject line type “install inquiry”. Be sure to include your city and state, along with the style/model of the shelter to be installed. If your area is serviced by an installer, the information will be passed along to you, along with install costs. Regardless if you install the shelter, if you arrange the install with a local contractor, or if the factory assists with the install, Lowe's does not assist with installs in any way. Any install agreement is between you (the client) and the installer and the factory can provide a contract to be utilized between you and the installer upon your request. You will pay the installer directly for the install, once it is completed.
- Once the install is arranged, and the install date is confirmed, you will contact the Lowe's store where the shelter was purchased and schedule the shelter to be delivered to the install site, prior to the install date.
- Once your local Lowe's store has delivered the shelter, the installer can typically complete the install in a single day. At completion of the install you then pay the installer for the install, which is a contract price agreed upon prior to the install date. When the install is complete and the concrete has had 24 hours to cure, you have the peace of mind knowing that you and your family will be safe during the next severe weather outbreak.
