I built a stone root cellar in the early 90s. This cellar was dug into a hillside with a backhoe and the I gathered enough flat stone from the surrounding fields to rock up the walls. The cellar was appox. 8 ft. x 15 ft. The roof was made from small steel trusses that spaned the walls and these in turn were covered with galvanized sheetin and then about 18 inches of peat. The entrance consisted of two doors seperated by about 2 ft. This cellar took about a couple of months before it was completed as I only worked at it during my spare time. I didn't put a vent but It would have been a good idea. The vegtables stored here keep well.
