Root Cellar/Wine Cellar

[Franken.]

Such an incredibly fantastic project!! And so incredibly well executed.

Really, really cool.
What a dream project. Hope you keep posting pictures and sharing how it turns out.

Now, I don't want to be like that, but if you're going to brick the inside anyway, why not brick everything?

Now I don't want to be that person, but if you're already bricking the inside, why not brick everything?

Mmm. Haven't decided yet, either white plaster, or stone imitation (that looks like it's built with large stones), or continue with brick...

What energy you have
I've thought about burying a container myself
And insulating it!
But this was impressive!
It's great that there are people who can build!
Some need to Google as soon as they have to put up a piece of trim

Have thought about burying a container myself

Burying a container can go very wrong

Cool!

 

[Troberg]

Should work as a shelter too...

Impressive!! Can one sense a prepper

Very nice. I have a smaller basement. Got hold of old stone from old crofts. Have made shelves in the basement just now.

Pictures show a half-finished basement, but you can see the idea.

Hi
Just wanted to show how I've made my wine cellar, if anyone has any suggestions for improvements or ideas, feel free to comment.
I've concluded not to use platon mats on the ceiling as it's too tight. You want to achieve a 70%
humidity that should be able to pass through the floor/wall. I only have 100mm of stone wool ground insulation and ground fabric
along with an isodrän board on the wall and ground fabric.

There will be a heated (Man Cave) and pool house above, pool adjacent to it, and 2 wine cellars with entrances from the basement.
For the ceiling, I used concrete tubes for wells that I split in half, 100mm ground insulation, and fabric.
Inside, there will be brick on a sand floor with a brick ceiling and plastered walls to achieve as stable a climate as possible.
I have 35m of pipes 4m underground for ventilation intake, so that the air is cooled in summer and heated in winter. I have 3 intakes on the ventilation, 1 on the tunnel to the wine cellar (pre-cooling) as the adjacent room is heated, and one in each cellar, as well as exhaust air in the ceilings.
I've also directed the cooled exhaust air to my root cellar.
I have a good link to what to consider when building a root cellar.

I'll include some pictures of my construction.

Lovely to see creative people in action, without any obstacles. Good luck with the wine purchases (too).

Nice!

Exciting solution with the sand floor. Otherwise, it's usually concrete across the entire slab. I've often seen this solution abroad, but very rarely in Sweden. How much rebar did you use under the walls?

What kind of brick floor did you choose? I'd gladly accept supplier tips

 

[Marie MM]

Oh wow, impressive!

 

[crazytok]

Completely insane build!!

But oh so cool....
I don't see an entrance from the man cave to the basement, is that something you're opening up later?
The round hole in the ceiling of the man cave, is it intended to have some kind of spiral staircase from the pool house down or what?

Keep working on it, we definitely want to see more pictures of this!!

Has anyone said that leca can withstand earth pressure? I was informed that the only things that work are reinforced fundablock or cast reinforced concrete. We placed bricks on the form for the roof, grouted, and poured concrete on top. Quick, simple, and without neck pain.
