Root Cellar
(inside 14x16)
Inside Temperature is holding
at 58-60% while Outside Temperature was at 86.
Should get better after front covering
and second door goes up.
Walls on side and back over 4 feet thick. Roof is over a foot deep with waterproofing and insulation underneath.
This design, on the front keeps most of the weight off front walls and sends water away from cellar..
Second door and outside cover to be added..
Post fanned out to carry water away from front of shelter.
Cedar back walls, with steel roof I beams overlaped. Post are for more shelving..
