hi all
stumbled across this site by accident, looks an interesting place, i have always had an interest in building a bunker/shelter of some sort where I could store all the things necessary to survive for weeks, don't know whether its going to be nuclear strike economic collapse or good old weather such as hurricane tornado etc
would like to discuss how best to build a bunker and maybe ventilation. battery power etc etc
started off with fiberglass in mind something like these ? but have moved over to concrete, maybe
also the legality is hard to confirm
when i reaserched planning permission for bunkers it seemed to suggest that bomb shelterS were removed from the need to have planning control during the war,
couldent have a secret bomb shelter if everyone knew about it could you,
but my council are adamant any engineering project must have planning permission
about as clear as mud as usual when you involve the council lol
anyway hi all

Re: Hi from the midlands
Don't tell them it's a bomb shelter, tel them you like metalwork and want to build an underground workshop so the noise doesn't upset your neighbours, recording studio would work too.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

Welcome. Look in ‘homes and retreats’, and there is a long thread about burying shipping containers.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

hi
thanks form the welcome
I couldn't find the thread on burying a shipping container
but I don't think that's the way I want to go, the sides and roof will just cave in as they are only strong on the corners,
and besides 8' isn't really wide enough for what I have in mind 10; maybe 12' transport was the limiting factor when I was thinking of having it made in fiberglass, 12' wide would probably be the max that was easy to move on a public road but now I am pondering using concrete
will take a couple of pics of my intended site and post them up
thanks Andy
