Shelter in a Day - Disaster Relief Housing

Fri, 2013-07-19 22:33 — Kathy Gilbeaux

http://www.shelterinaday.com/

Shelter In A Day provides not only safe, secure and sturdy emergency and disaster relief housing, but Shelters are also termite, rust and rot resistant and come equipped with lockable doors and windows.  Shelter In A Day’s homes are eco-friendly as they are crafted from waterproof, recycled wood fiber material.

But perhaps the most valuable quality of Shelter In A Day is that homes can be erected in one day, without tools or electricity, using a new patented “Tool Free Joint.”  Shelter's Tool Free Joint reinvents a simple, yet solidly constructed, carpenter style joint with a secure locking peg that is very easy to assemble. 

Shelter In A Day's homes are earthquake and windstorm resistant, built to last and provide those in need a very appealing alternative to traditional "box car" type shelters. Roof overhangs keep the noonday sun off the walls, keeping Shelter's cool inside.  A sturdy and lockable door and windows allow light and ventilation.
