I’m thinking like something that municipality’s use on streets vs the panic buyers scale of economics. Ya dig? But maybe they both same cost as municipalities are communism and tornado shelters funded by Karen’s with too much dough?

Get a big 60" culvert and bury it deep in the ground with a small entrance door in a concrete reinforced mason brick wall?
The TV show Home Stead Rescue has built a few such storm bunkers. |

I don’t want to spend a lot of money on something directly for my use, because In life it seems like if you buy stuff exactly for what you plan to use something as it’s very expensive. And I’m cheap. So I don’t want to spend a lot.
I don’t want to spend a lot on a root cellar/ tornado shelter. So I thought self, there’s probably a cheaper solution. But as I’m not omnipotent (all knowing ) I thought I would Come to this here Internet forum and ask other folks who have common interests and thoughts and get some ideas, as I’m not the only thrifty on the planet, nor the first guy who has ever used something “off label” |

It's very hard to follow since your posts have poor sentence structure. Not trying to be a grammar Nazi but it really makes it hard to understand what you are trying to say.
Can you post an example or a link to what you are thinking of purchasing? HERE is a thread that might offer you some ideas/inspiration. |

Should someone with such poor grammar and general writing ability be allowed into a tornado shelter? Saying yes is probably what makes me better than 95% of people.

Saying yes is probably what makes me better than 95% of people. Not sure what you are trying to say here. Some of us here are trying to help the OP but we aren’t sure what the OP is really getting at or what he/she is particularly interested in building other than a tornado shelter. There is a lot of knowledge and experience here but if we don’t understand what a poster really wants, we can’t help him/her and suggestions we make might be totally useless. Communication skills are important if you want people to understand you. |

The TV show Home Stead Rescue has built a few such storm bunkers. Just be a little more careful than Marty unloading it.  But something along those lines of a big culvert pipe or one of the big ass junction boxes they make for man holes. We had some big ones on campus for telecom conduits we would get down inside and work in. |

Communication skills are important if you want people to understand you. It was a joke. I was suggesting that the vast majority of people would read the OP's posts and hope they don't live to reproduce. They would therefore be unwilling to give tornado shelter recommendations. I'm not sure what the deal is with the OP, but sincerely hope his written communication is of an acceptable style in other settings. |

Since I’m so cheap, and on my phone ,( with broken screen ) usually while drivin and in a hirry as I’m about to run out of data coverage or screen functioning I only have a few seconds to try and get my thoughts across. The internet is bad for guys who get distracted, easier than others!? So, yes, I noticed some big tornado shelter looking square box things on back of a truck past few days and so that got me thinking i maybe able to purchase something instead of forming and pouring in place |

eight feet of 72" corrugated, galvanized pipe with one endcap, buried with 1 foot above ground
and a spider hole on the other end with a ladder down into the piping, and picks and shovel stored in case you have to dig your way out. |
