Construction and Interior Space
The Sukup Safe T Home® provides long-term housing or short-term relief to people in need. The round design withstands high winds and has proven to be nearly earthquake-proof. The homes are 254 square feet of living space and made of 20-gauge galvanized steel. They measure 18 feet in diameter with eight feet sidewalls, and stand 13.5 feet high.
The double roof system deflects heat, redirects rainwater and ventilates the interior space regardless of wind direction. The roof can support 5,000 pounds for families who wish to add a sleeping or storage loft. These life saving homes have a 75- year life expectancy.
