Dig a hole, design a foundation and wall system that can support the earth sideloading pressure, design a drainage system to get rid of water, then spend a ton of money.

I know the whole "don't make a container bunker" meme is a thing here, but I legit would like to know if its feasible to use a container if you lay beams over the top pour concrete around it.

>> No.1653644

so can you build a concrete foundation around a container?
sure
but why bother with the container at that point?

If you have access to a shipping container it seems like it would be cheaper and easier than building the structure of a bunker from scratch.

>>1653667
probably the opposite
you are going to spend a lot of time, money, and effort to make something do what it was never intended to do. you could just go out and buy something already designed to go underground. or risk your engineering skills and build one like you would build the foundation of a house

Shipping containers definitely aren't as cheap as the lumber necessary to make a concrete form.

How much does a box culvert cost anyway? A 20' container costs 1200-1500 in my area, plus another 500-600 for the concrete. Would a precast culvert structure roughly the same size actually be cheaper than that?

remember if you DIY your concrete you will also have to reinforce it, then hope you did it right when you load the dirt around it

Containers are a meme for a reason. If you want a strong structure to serve as the backbone of your underground shelter, choose the culvert option. Just make sure to compact the backfill during installation.

Ever since a child having an underground bunker/hidden shelter to hang out in was like the coolest shit ever. However I can never act on this dream or even talk to people about it because everyone would (rightfully) ask the question "What the fuck do you need a hidden bunker for?" and (unjustly) assume I'm some pedo or psycho or something.

The truth is, I don't know why it's so cool to me. I just like the idea of building a "homebase", I always built camps as a kid. I like building my own little place to live in. It's just so cool to me, I can't explain it.

While I also have this adolescent fantasy about a bunker, especially enhanced by season 2 of L O S T and the Fallout games, the adult in me recognizes the utter pointlessness of it.

The simplest of bunkers is just a house in an area away from the disasters you most fear. Hidden places in the house with food and water along with non-hidden places of food and water.

A bunker just isn't a good way to survive and even if you had one you have to think about it in terms of time. How long can I live in this bunker before leaving? The same question in a house. So what is the benefit of a bunker vs a house? I can think of only one: the bunker is less vulnerable overall than the house. And even this point has pros and cons. A bunker for example is much more vulnerable to flooding for example.
