An improved above-ground storm shelter having sidewalls comprised of two panels, an outer panel and an inner panel, a double-swing door means for allowing ingress and egress, a door bar for securely closing the double-swing doors during a storm event, and a roof adapted to be affixed thereto, whereby sound of articles striking the sidewalls during a storm event is lessened, and the two panels provide enhanced structural integrity compared with a single panel of comparable thickness. The sidewalls are manufactured in modular segments adapted to be joined together to form a desired size of shelter. At least one segment has defined therein a ventilation port with a protective plate and grate for preventing projectiles from entering the shelter during a storm event.
