Redneck Repairs

My " gunroom" is not in the building i live in . the thinnest wall is 8" of poured concrete with 3/8 rebar as reinforcement . the other two walls i have no idea on other than they are natural rock and about 20" thick . To seal the area ( the last " wall " ) is a combo of 1/2 and 1/4 mild steel . I used 1/2 to anchor to the mollys , and welded it to the 1/4 sheet . The door is 1/4 secured with a built hasp and padlock . The entire thing is smaller than a walk in closet and used materials i had on hand .

A friend of mine in Fl has a gun room/hurricanne shelter built into his house.

Concrete slab, rebar reinforced concrete block walls poured solid w/ concrete. At that point he realized the roof or attic space is a weak point, so he had prestressed, steel reinforced concrete slabs put on top of the walls for a ceiling, and then set the roof trusses on that. He also has a bank vault type door. Excellent security, but very expensive and difficult to do unless it is being done as an addition or at the time of home construction. He did his when the house was being built.

mine is 15x16 with reinforced poured concrete walls...I installed a vault door that opens in, and a steel and concrete ceiling.
I have electricity run into it, and a phone land line. I also have a pipe (PVC) for fresh air that runs into the yard and up out of the ground under a tree...it is capped in the room, and can be uncapped if needed.. I have a few little 12v fans that can pump air if needed in the room. I also have lanterns, and provisions for the family in case of a natural disaster...plus a comfy chair, bookcase, and tv...my mancave...It has vertical rifles racks across the back wall with a cubbie under each rack to hold the ammo for the firearm. I bought some pistol racks, and have the same thing for them on a shelf. A small workbench for reloading and repairs. I installed track lighting around the room on the ceiling...I also have four exterior camera's on the house that display on monitors..one in my bedroom and one in this room.
it has been an work in progress for quite a while...
always added more things...recently I put in chargers for my cell phones, some new MRE's, and a case of canned peaches. Oh and a fold up cot.

I have concrete walled room that is more of reloading room than gun room with a solid wooden door and good sized gunsafe. Pictures are not of mine but from an e-mail going around of a gun vault that has lots of military hardware.

Here is an interesting dual purpose. This room can withstand a direct hit from a hurricane or tornado. If you add a lock or a combo the the door, you can have a large gun safe/tornado shelter all in one.
