Not exactly. Anderson shelters were intended to be semi submerged in back gardens. A hole about two foot deep was dug in the earth and the semi-circular corrugated iron shelter was placed in the hole. The excavated soil was then placed on top of the shelter to give it extra protection. The main problem, because it was partially underground, was flooding.
