Underground sea container grow room!

Being that MILLIONS are out there in use makes me think they didn't just guess at how much they could withstand. I'll bet they know EXACTLY.


out.

then you should be able to find out what you want to know with google

You cold get one of those generators that uses electricity to make electricity like what they offer in one of those subterranean homes, i hear if u get one the electric company will make you hook it up to the line because they are entitled to mooch the extra energy!

These things sell for 1000-$1500 in my area. I look at them with a smile every time I seem em. No reason this couldn't be installed in a week end (not including room set up). I agree a shed over it would make venting really easy. I want water lines in mine! Draining will be the trick, I guess do a bed of rock, that solves the leveling part too. That link to the container house thing gave me some wicked inspiration for a cheap vacation house.

Quick search yielded "These heavy-gauge steel containers are so strong—each is designed to carry 57,000 pounds—". I don't think a few tons of dirt would bother them any.

Gosh, I hope you didn't have to 'google" that!!

A meter of dirt per sq. inch isnt that much weight at all. Good luck!!!

check this out before you decide to dig a big ass hole that will definitly raise eyebrows. YouTube - Marijuana Documentary Part 5 He probably didnt think he would get caught either. Its at the 1:20 mark.

i watched on myth busters them burying one of the guys for some demo and i think you may be underestimating that weight

Okay, here's what you do. Take a 1"pvc pipe one meter long and fill it with dirt and wet it completely for the sake of this discussion. Weigh it minus the weight of the pipe and Viola, you have how much weight is placed upon that container STEEL top per sq. inch.

Not an issue.

I'll spend a night in it during a tropical storm any time.

make the call first dude so we wont be calling you flatdude

Before any one anal posts to me that a 1' pvc pipe is not equal to a square inch, I am fully aware of that. I just figured that "anotherchance" would more likely have a piece of 1inch PVC as opposed to a 1 inch square pipe. Actually a variance of safety is built into the PVC equation being that it will contain more dirt.

I believe a cubic meter of soil equals one ton.(3'3"=1 Meter)

then add water

Water is roughly 1 Kilogram per Litre, but I couldn't say how much would be absorbed by the soil for sure, I would guess allowing 1.5 tons per cubic meter would be enough.

Should be no problem for steel.


out.

there is zero reason to think that the steel not used in structural support will be as strong as you think it will be just cause you would like it to be

ill tell you right now.
