Construction Above ground storm/fallout shelter 1.0

for high water tables or lack of excavating equipment.

    I noted this shelter was built above ground. My property has high clay content in the soil, the property almost didn't perk :eek: Presently building raised beds out of old pallets for the garden (using 5gal. buckets right now) should be set for next year, also will be building a hobby greenhouse kit, hope it all works out. :)

    The overhang probably improves the aerodynamic qualities of the timber / sandbag roof for flight. Am not sure that the shelter provides much in the way of ballistic protection, perhaps mortar and field artillery shell splinters, though I doubt that a layer of sandbags is the equivalent of 18" / 45cm of compacted earth overhead cover.
