Put more earth around it and on top of it to help keep out the sunβs rays from heating the ground up. It will create a nice little hill. But your items inside will stay nice and cool all year round

well here in northeastern europe we still use them and their variations. the most used one these days is a storage space underneath a house, even apartments here have them. people store all kinds of stuff here, even bikes, but canned and pickled food is a staple you can find in any storage unit

We had a root cellar on the farm where I grew up in ND. My grandfather dug it out in the late 1920s. He made it so
it had walk in entry from the outside on one end, and the other end was up against the basement of the house and had a door where you could enter from the basement. So in the fall when they took in the potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and any other produce they could take it in through the walk in entry from the outside without having to go through the basement. In the winter they could enter from the basement to get what they needed without having to go outside. My grandma did all her canning in what they called a summer kitchen that was built just a few feet away from the ouside entry. Then she could take all her canned goods from the garden and various different types of cherries and berries and apples and whatever else straight from her summer kitchen where she canned it straight into the root cellar. They also did their butchering and sausage making in the summer kitchen, and she would can sausage and and spiced beef and put it in the root cellar. She also raised chickens, and she would can chicken and set it in there when she butchered chickens. There were bins with washed sand along the side walls to keep the potatoes and carrots in. They would put the carrots in the bin and cover them the sand, and they would stay fresh and crisp all winter. The potatoes would keep until June before they started growing roots. It was a cery efficient setup and stored food for the whole winter and did not have to go outside to get it. When my dad and mom took over the farm, they did and used everything just same. We sold the farmstead about ten years ago. The people who bought it move the old house off and put a new basement in with the new house, and they put it right up against the root cellar with a door so they can still enter from the basement, and from the ouside. They still yse it pretty much just like we did.
My grandmotherβs house has on that is built access by going out the kitchen to the "unfinished" garage. The house is a log cabin that was built off a barn and added ontoβ¦ I think, my mother disowned grandma when I was in the 2nd grade.
Iβm from Louisiana and my grandmother had a root cellar. I remember wondering why it was so far from the house, about 50yrds. And then I realized no one knew about this root cellar but meβ¦. hmmm. It all made sense. Sheβd had 10 kids. But a tornado was in the area once and her secret was uncovered when we had to shelter there.
Why does no one ever include their time as a part of the Bill? Like I work for no less than $50/hr and even in home projects. Iβm likeβ¦ I saved $6,500 doing it myself lol
I recently started calling myself Dick Proenneke Jr. I think that alone makes me the second greatest survivalists and root cellar builders to ever live!

Cut the bottom
What about mice getting in? Could they chew through the spool doors?
Itβs great bro but you got screwed on the hinges
Very nice
how do you keep out mice and bugs
I WANT TWO
!! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME!!!
THANKS!!!!
Love this root cellar!
Dude priced the door, not the tube.
wondering how deep it should be to survive a Latvian winter, temps get down to -25C and the winters are long
Can these be built in states like FL?
Such a cool video! We have a cold room in our basement, but I just love root cellars! They feel whimsical, but are so practical!
Buy your gravel in bulk way cheaper bro.
Can I live in one of these
"Centuries"
You didnβt mention the $ for the galvanized culvert tubeβ¦β¦β¦β¦?
Blackbeard should be a runner in my opinion, he had teleportation and was riding pegasus flying on his latest fight with law
This is cool! Love it

Recycled, upcycle isnβt a word

A shipping container would have worked better
Thatβs a nice bin of Paps,great work!
Just donβt store potatoes in them. They off-gas CO2 which can kill you.

Impressive use of the spool as a front wall/door! Beautiful work!
How do you manage the excess humidity and maintain the wood from not rotting over time?
How do you prevent rust?

Love this idea! Are you adding the gravel inside to level the floor, or is it for a different purpose? Thank you! Keep making great content!
This is a European invention, not American. Theyβve been a thing for a few thousand years.
I donβt trust content from someone that gets their gravel from a bag
Not quite my thing but looks like a cool hangout bunker

A spring house on this 1680s cabin/farm.

So how much for the metal tube?
Nice storm shelter too.

How much was that $1200 culvert pipe ?
Hello neighbor Mead Wa..
You mean in the panhandle right?
Iβd build it out of tree logs for free
aint this just a hobbits house?
beautiful truck
OMG please slow down your camera movements. Now I have vertigo
I love your truck!
Root cellars are also a great place to wait out a tornado
safely.
