Simple Concrete Goat Shelter - Survivalist Forum
2024年2月20日 · So anyway I slapped it together especially quickly in the first stage because a blizzard was on the way. I stacked the concrete blocks, dropped 2x4s down the holes (I should have used 4x4s but thought I would have more problem with block alignment than I did) to lock them in place, then I took a tarp and pulled it over the …
D.I.Y. Underground Fallout Shelter Suggestions - Survivalist Forum
2017年10月17日 · The blocks would be cemented together of course. I would not use cinder blocks, even if reinforced and filled.

Another option is ICF construction.
Would this work for fallout protection? | Survivalist Forum
2009年6月29日 · (In your case staying below grade might involve lying down in a corner most of the time.)

can a fallout shelter have windows? | Survivalist Forum
2013年5月9日 · If the windows are at ground level, the simplest way is to have sandbags or solid concrete blocks stacked handy inside to fill in the window space, plus more outside to get the 3' or so cover MtnMan Mike suggests. Build the windows so it is easy to stack the bags or blocks the full thickness of the walls.
Earthbag shelter in my basement | Survivalist Forum
2011年1月27日 · In basements I have usually seen plans to use concrete blocks but earthbags might also work well. About permits is that I could get them but I don't since I think that my taxes would go up. And I don't think that permits are required on my remote mtn land. I have also read that if a structure is less than 120 sq. ft. then it does not need a permit.
