2-foot thick concrete walls and dome masonry roof. This would provide the most protection and is the recommended minimum thickness for an above ground concrete fallout shelter. But This Shelter is Designed to protect Potatoes through winter and I am sharing this because @mobios was curious to see. This root cellar has served it's purpose for 4 generations beginning in late 1800. White bricks were added by my grandfather. Keep in mind this is work in progress :)

Side walls Reconstructed! The ditch in front will be leveled and filled with gravel. It must remain lower than main storage area, for purpose of leaking the cold from inside to outside into the lower part.

Lots of room for potatoes.

Construction, continues... Will update once it has new roof, door, ventilation and other things.
