Cellar and basement with your own hands

The owners of summer cottages and garden plots, in addition to growing crops, have another problem: the safety of this crop. Everything grown must be stored somewhere. And most often it is a cellar and a basement. With the right arrangement, vegetables and fruits are stored there until spring, and sometimes until the next harvest. Therefore, sometimes even before the construction of the house, they think about how to build a cellar.

The easiest option is to do basement made of concrete rings... The technology is simple - a pit is pulled out into which the rings are laid, the joints are sealed, a hatch is attached and pipes are taken out for ventilation. Next, it's up to the interior arrangement: shelves, boxes. Other types are built, in principle, the same, only instead of reinforced concrete rings, the walls are erected from brick, stone, and cast from concrete. Sometimes metal containers are buried. In general - everyone does what they think is more convenient, reliable or cheaper.

For the safety of products in the cellar there must be a certain humidity, and it periodically rises, and significantly. It happens that drops hang on the ceiling, jars, fruits and vegetables are covered with dew. They will not be stored in such conditions. Will deteriorate. Therefore, the task is to dry the cellar. There are many ways, but they are described here.
