The cellar, which do not need to go down

click fraud protection

Due to many factors, the cellar has ceased to be one of the attributes of suburban life, but totally not lost its relevance. And if some prefer to replenish stocks of the stores as they are depleted, the other preparing for the cold weather begins to fill in the cellar. Variants of this design are many - we have examples and round cellars of monumentality ready to compete with other houses and cellars from used concrete slabs, and others. But the method of storing preforms, conceived and implemented by one of our craftsmen with the nickname aragon - exclusive. However, the author does not mind takes, on the contrary, will be only too happy if his idea to repeat someone else. Therefore, shares with all like-minded people as the peculiarities of the construction process, as well as operating experience.

My version of the cellar of the concrete rings, in which it is not necessary to climb

aragon (User FORUMHOUSE):
From the beginning of my story villa very much like a barn and cellar. Because of lack of space - cellar fit only a shed. The desire has complicated a very high water table (20 cm, especially local soils) and the lack of finance (typical).

cellar Construction

Based on these conditions, you need a caisson, but due to the cost of the plant cells of the IPA, this is not an option - we need more money and building frame shed. Taking the very idea of ​​the caisson cellar aragon I decided to reduce costs by the use of concrete rings COP 15-9 (150 × 90 cm) in an amount of three pieces. Lower ring to the bottom to improve tightness inside the ring, processed special waterproofing composition.

Due compound pazogrebnevyh ring tightly sit on each other, and to prevent leak of moisture through the seam - additional fixing in cement mortar with addition of water glass.

The foundation pit dug under the ring using the technique, since the composition of the soil is such that after 20-40 cm of topsoil starts again heavy clay, and then completely - practically monolith. Manually make a hole through the real or scrap, or by the gun, in both cases, "very long and dreary." A JCB coped with the task perfectly.

Rings dug 2.5 meters, in such a way that there are about 30 cm above the surface.

Further aragon engaged in the construction of the frame of the barn cellar on screw piles and further arrangement of blanks began a few months - when the barn was completed.

The first step is made square hatch in the floor of the shed (1.6 × 1.6 m) and carefully covered from the inside with another layer cellar waterproof mastic.

The problem of the relatively small volume of the resulting construction craftsman decided in an original way - ruled out the need to go down to the cellar. Instead, the device stationary shelves and stairs, which is very difficult when the diameter of the ring in half meters, the keeper mounted wooden support beam (beam 150 × 100 mm) and the acquired electric winch (250/500). For hedging immediately replaced "liquid" for more reliable wire (6 mm).

Cooked suspension system made of metal - vertical and horizontal, the reference profile - from the pipe 25 × 25 × 2 mm, upper cross-piece - of the pipe 30 × 60 × 3 mm (at the edge). The cross section tubes familiar sopromatchik calculated, and the distance between the legs is adapted to the plastic crates height by adding 5 cm.

aragon:
Welded basket-rack, the height of 1.8 m, side 1 × 1m (Diagonal 1,42m), six wooden shelves of planed boards, processed them antiseptic against fungi and mildew.

Square, rather than a bigger, round rack, cooked, not only because of the simplified technology, but also for vegetables to allow a sufficient amount of air.

Field trials started with the potato, which was acquired under the vegetable crates (50 × 30 × 27 cm) - six pieces on the shelf under the 400 kg of potatoes took 18 boxes and three lower rows of the rack.

The hatch asleep expanded clay up to the level of the upper ring, a cover made from a board of 40 mm thickness, for thermal insulation foam filled plates, 150 mm thickness. Control of temperature and humidity in the cellar, has entrusted the electronic thermometer (USB), possessing the data transfer function.

With regard to the formation of a large amount of condensate and humidity exceeding the allowable levels due to lack of ventilation, the owner of the innovative cellars own position.

aragon:
Cover with a heater such thickness will be warmer than the upper level of the last ring so formed condensate will not cover, and on the concrete. And from there it will gradually slide along the walls down. At the bottom of the deeper, the walls warmer and condensate will simply evaporate. Generally, for optimal potato storage mode - a humidity of about 90%, hang hygrometer and see how many will turn out in the cellar. Ventilation, I believe, need for the summer, in winter it is still closed.

Operation cellar

Despite all the doubts panelists, the theory was confirmed, and formed on the upper ring of the condensate evaporates on the second ring, without creating problems. The first wintering proven design consistency - perfectly preserved potatoes, not pomerzla not podvyala not lost taste qualities, beginning to sprout just in time for planting season. Onions and beets are also well preserved, only carrot deteriorated, but with this whimsical vegetable similar happens in virtually all storage conditions. Especially if in growing spared no fertilizer or variety is not intended for long-term storage.

In memory deposited the thermometer readings for the entire season - the minimum value of + 2⁰S he recorded in January when the "overboard" for several days kept cold for -20⁰S. High humidity in the cellar was not observed, everything is dry, non-condensing, rather, only "merit" tightness. On the end ring craftsman pasted cord of polyethylene foam.

The absence of water within the concrete cellar at such high GWL aragon It explains the unique "clay Castle" - after half a meter of soil are about fifty meters of clay, and water is on the boundary between the layers. This boundary came in the middle of the top ring, and the seams are located in anhydrous layer.

Before laying the second season, but a typical service (pomyvka / drying), more refined design.

Reinforced support beam - the top let the steel pipe with a square cross section of 80 × 80 × 4 mm and changed fasteners on the winch.

Raised winch capacity - said second block, increasing the margin to 750 kg, the maximum filled rack weighs about 560 kg. I changed the steel cable on the Kevlar of the same thickness, no longer need to look for gloves, so as not to injure yourself on the protruding metal prozhiliny.

Replaced seal - instead cord rim ring pasted cylindrical insulation for pipes directly on the lid, not to splurge on a special adhesive for insulation, wound gasket mounting tape and stuck to the universal composition. For a snug fit trimmed rim solution on the level.

The second season of the cellar aragon opened the first of November of last year - in the storage temperature was + 6⁰S. Mindful of the bad experience with a carrot, this time done without finicky root, potatoes, onions and pickles banks. In mid-January of this year, already the temperature in the steel ring at around + 3,1⁰S, vegetables intact.

Even after seven months, the temperature was about + 5,8⁰S, despite the beginning of June, and began to grow only a few tubers. After an additional sealing cap vegetables preserved better.

As shown, this cellar is quite functional and copes with its direct responsibilities, and for his device does not require a lot of space. Moreover, how much easier when it is not necessary for every bank or package of vegetables to go down under the ground.

To save on the rings, you can use the way one of our craftsmen, who poured himself concrete well. The cellar can be not only a garage or shed, but under the houseThat is also quite convenient, when properly implemented. If necessary, you can build a basement, not only before the start of construction, but also in already lived-in house. In the video - another example of self-construction of the cellar in a high groundwater level.
