Merry has been living in Alabama since 1990. She and her family re-located to Lake Martin from Utah, where she and her native Alabama husband attended college.
Merry has had a lifelong involvement with horses. She is a member of the Professional Horsemen's Association and continues to train, breed and raise world class American Quarter Horse Association western pleasure horses.
She was employed by Barnmaster Barns Inc., where she was involved in all phases of construction of custom horse barns. Her responsibilities included site location, design, concrete installation,management of crews and sales. Her involvement in modular construction helped prepare her for storm shelter sales and installation.
She loves meeting new people and providing a product in which she believes, while benefitting others. Merry enjoys the process as much as the end result.
Merry is a licensed Alabama contractor and certified modular installer. She is excited to bring Lake Martin Storm Shelters to the state of Alabama.
I'm representing two tornado shelter manufacturers (above ground and below ground) to Lake Martin and the surrounding areas in Alabama, each in business for over 15 years. All our underground shelters and all components meet FEMA 320/361 quidelines and have been tested at Texas Tech, this includes the Alabama seal for support calculations.
The Refuge, made by Fiberglass Creations offers 3 sizes of fiberglass underground storm shelters. The underground fiberglass storm shelters have many advantages over other types of shelters built with other materials. These underground shelters are safe, clean, roomy, bright, dry and easy to keep clean. They provide a dependable and proven shelter from the storm for tornado safety.
We also offer the above ground shelters or safe rooms for tornado safety. We have 3 different sizes of above ground storm shelters which not only can provide tornado safety, but Hurricane protection, as well. The safe room can also be installed inside your home at the time of construction. They are built with 1/4" steel plate and come with inside and outside locking doors, lockable box and air vents.
On April 27th, 2011, the entire state of Alabama, including the Lake Martin area, experienced first hand the powerful effects of an F-5 tornado. It changed our perception of future weather conditions and tornado safety. I hope in the future we can all find shelter from the storm.
