Owners of the parcels think sooner or later of how to equip cellar for preservation of the grown-up harvest. The correct device of cellar allows to enjoy all winter the useful and tasty products which are grown up by the hands.
Arrangement of cellar the hands should be begun with the choice of the place for it. The cellar can be built under the house, verandah, garage or in general separately from inhabited and farm buildings. But in that case it is required to establish also pogrebitsa that turns out more costly, and such option is chosen seldom.
For cellar it is necessary to dig ditch which sizes usually are defined depending on the number of family members for which he prepares. For family in number of five people sufficient will be to dig out square hole with depth of 2.5 m.
Arrangement of cellar
On bottom of the prepared ditch we fill up crushed stone of crushed fines and well we ram. In addition it should be spilled the kindled bitumen – it will provide waterproofing. In conclusion we do filling of concrete – its layer has to be about ten centimeters. Filling has to harden then it is possible to pass to cellar walls. It is better to impose walls with brick. Perfectly the red ceramic brick will approach, but as a last resort it is possible to use also white silicate. Mix from sand and clay will be suitable for the connecting solution. For providing waterproofing between earth and brick walls it is necessary to lay film or roofing material. If you fill in floor concrete, under brick walls the additional base is not required to be done. It is possible to whitewash cellar walls from within. When binding solution gains durability, it is time to pass to arrangement of overlappings. For this purpose both reinforced concrete slabs, and wooden materials will approach. But plates in the financial plan manage more costly – for their delivery and laying it is required to use special equipment. In option with overlappings from tree the bar keeps within with support on cellar walls, and from below is hemmed by boards. From above the cellar should be warmed – on bar polyfoam, plates of mineral wool keeps within, it is possible to make charge of haydite or sawdust. Over the warming material everything is sewn up with board.
Ventilation in cellar
From that, ventilation is how well arranged in cellar, the quality of the kept products depends. Because of bad ventilation in cellar there will be constant dampness, and products will begin to decay. To arrange ventilation, pipes from plastic or asbestos with diameter of 10 cm will be necessary. Two such pipes it is necessary to arrange in the opposite ends of cellar. At one bottom edge has to be located on distance of 20 cm from floor, the second has to be below ceiling on 20 cm. One pipe end should be removed outside – so that it was higher than roof on 30 cm.
