Hello! I'm considering setting up wind protection around the space beneath our cabin. It would be great to use it as storage without rain and leaves blowing in. There is standing height under about half the house so the space would be valuable as wind-protected. But how much protection can I set up before there's a risk of the cabin's floor molding? Which material is best to use? What should be considered?

Crawl space under cottage with posts, a bucket, hoses, and wooden planks, considered for windproofing as storage; Krister seeks advice on materials and mold risk. Underhouse storage area with wooden workbench, stool, plastic chair, stack of wooden planks, and kindling basket. Walls are partially open with nature view outside.

A "typical" torpargrund usually has a few vents that are about 15x15 centimeters, so it should suffice here depending on how much water runs in under the house when it rains...

I think you can close most of it and keep a few "holes" on all sides so that you get airflow but not a draft.
 
Thank you, that sounds good. Unfortunately, a lot of water flows in when it rains, but maybe I can stop it somehow.
Shouldn't you stop the ground moisture with a platon sheet or something?
