How to Build a Root Cellar Part 4: Roof | Building with Wisdom Preserved

By letter2self on June 22, 2023



Getting our root cellar walls built was a huge accomplishment, but now we are moving on to the more complex roof. We did so much research to figure out the best way to accomplish this portion of the project and I am happy to say it has turned out beautifully.

Thank you to Robert at Walden Labs for his root cellar roof tutorials that helped us build our roof. https://waldenlabs.com/how-to-build-a-root-cellar-in-7-steps/
