There were two types of shelter available for home use during World War 2. The Anderson shelter was supplied to people who had a back garden. You would have to dig a hole in your garden big enough to bury half of the shelter. The spoil from the hole was then used to cover the top of the shelter. It was reasonably successful in protecting from bomb blast but couldn't take a direct hit. The Morrison shelter was for people who had no back garden and was basically a self assembled steel cage which could be put under a stairs or somewhere similar.
