What to Expect During Above Ground Storm Shelter Installation in Ninnekah

Every above-ground storm shelter installation in Ninnekah and surrounding areas in Grady County is site-specific. Yard layout, surface grade, soil conditions, and access all affect where a shelter can be safely installed.

Placement is discussed on-site with the homeowner. We install the shelter in your preferred location as long as it allows for proper truck and equipment access, drainage considerations, and long-term stability.

Placement & Leveling​

Above-ground storm shelters are installed directly on native ground, as required by the engineered design.

If needed, we scrape and level the installation area at no additional charge.

Each shelter includes a 5-inch poured concrete floor as part of the unit itself. The shelter is designed to be anchored into native soil, rather than bolted to a surface-mounted concrete pad.

Installation & Pricing

Professional installation by Sprague’s Backhoe is included with every above-ground storm shelter. We do not offer wholesale pricing or customer-installed options.

Pricing reflects a complete installation, from site preparation through final placement and anchoring.

Anchoring & Soil Conditions​

Above-ground storm shelters are secured using engineered anchor systems designed for Oklahoma soil conditions. Anchor quantity and placement vary by shelter size and are part of the standard installation process.

Our shelters are designed to be anchored in all Oklahoma soil types without requiring special site preparation.

Payment & Deposit Information​

We do not require a deposit to schedule your above-ground storm shelter installation. Payment is due in full at the time of installation.

We accept cash, check, and card payments. A 4% convenience fee applies to all credit and debit card payments.

If you have questions about payment timing or accepted methods, we’re happy to go over details before installation.

If you’re still deciding which size or layout works best, our above-ground storm shelter page explains the differences in more detail.

Awesome company! They answered my email for a quote and asked all necessary questions! I tried to keep it local here but no one wanted to go the extra mile! They were in and out in less than 2 hours! Even with the extra delivery fee since I am outside their 60 mile delivery area, they came in almost 200 dollars less than the local company!

After waiting a couple of months for the weather to cooperate and for us to finally get a break from all the rain, the installation went surprisingly fast. They had everything dug up, installed, and finished in just under two hours. They did a great job and made the whole process easy. We’re really happy with how everything turned out!

Jack and Stacy and Sam were very professional and easy to deal with that it's just amazed me. These are definitely the people you want to deal with if you need any sort of storm shelter. I just cannot sing their praises loud enough nor thank them enough for helping us as much as they did.

Jack delivered my 5x7 saferoom to Pauls Valley on May 7th. Stacy was truly a blessing during the whole process, a very caring person who listened to your needs. Jack and the other gentleman did a fantastic job of installing the shelter. They are very professional and I highly recommend Sprague's Backhoe. They answer any questions you may and explain the whole process from start to finish. I called several vendors but Sprague was my final choice.

We had an above ground storm shelter installed and it's better than expected. It's on our farm near Wetumka, OK. The crew was very nice and knowledgeable. If I needed another shelter; it'd be Sprague's Backhoe. Job well done! J C

Above Ground Storm Shelter FAQs for Ninnekah, Oklahoma

Do I need a storm shelter permit in Ninnekah, Oklahoma?

Permit requirements can vary in Ninnekah depending on your property location. We recommend contacting Ninnekah Town Hall at (405) 224-0900 to find out if a storm shelter permit is currently required before installation.

Storm shelters installed in Grady County can be registered with the Grady County Emergency Management Agency online.

Yes. Yard access, surface conditions, and truck and equipment clearance can affect placement and installation logistics. These considerations are reviewed before installation so expectations are clear.

To drive our equipment into your property, we generally need at least 10 feet of clear width and approximately 14 feet of vertical clearance in a reasonably straight path. To set the shelter, we need space to extend our outriggers — typically 18–20 feet of width and 20–25 feet of overhead clearance.

We cover the most common access issues in our storm shelter access guide, but we’re always happy to take a look. Give us a call, and we’ll review your property on the map before installation day.

Yes. We accept tribal storm shelter grants as payment from Oklahoma tribes. In the Ninnekah area, we commonly work with grants from the Choctaw Nation and Chickasaw Nation, but we can work with grant programs from tribal nations statewide.

Program availability and requirements can change, so we recommend confirming details with your tribal office. We provide the documentation typically required for grant applications and can work directly with the tribal program for payment when needed.
