How to build a shelter at home

Due to armed conflicts, the number of people who decide to build their own shelters is growing. In countries like Switzerland or Sweden, these constructions are common and are beginning to spread to other countries.

Its usefulness can be wide and we can define a shleter or a bunker as any type of fort used exclusively for defensive purposes for the survival of one or more individuals.

What do we need to build a good shelter?

To start with the construction of a good shelter, it is necessary to have a wide area and a lot of depth, the most appropriate thing would be to be buried at 10 meters and a concrete slab as a one meter thick ceiling.

As for the material to build the bunker, concrete is the most resistant and cost-effective material, but others are also possible. Sometimes steel is used instead of concrete or both materials at the same time. Continuing with the materials, keep in mind that waterproofing the shelter is essential. You can use plastic sheets.

Remember that if the refuge is underground, before starting to dig, you must carry the necessary permits. Under our feet there are pipes, cables and other types of conduits that must be respected.

Turn a basement into a shelter

Another idea to consider may be to convert a basement into a bunker. The room must be completely emptied in order to distribute everything necessary to survive inside and place an extra layer of cladding.
