Preamble |
Build
a Cold Storage Room in basement
- Walk-in Cold Room Plan Design Idea |
In 2003, I began to build myself a
cold storage room in the corner of my home basement.
The goal was to store garden vegetables, canning and canned beverages. Of
course, one of my wishes was to be able to walk in the cold storage room to
access to the
wooden shelves and bins
(Walk-in Cold Room).
This idea should be useful for gardeners and
homesteaders!
Get reay for canning storage! |

Framing a cold
storage room: |
|
Ideally, you should use a
basement corner of the house to take advantage
of two cold concrete walls.
These bring the coldness of the room. For me, it was
impossible to use a basement corner, so I will use only one wall to cool this
storage
room. |
