Earthbag Dome

Earthbag dome is a multi-purpose dome. It can serve as a storage shed or cool pantry above ground, or as a root cellar or storm shelter below ground. No building permit is typically needed, because it is below the minimum size required by building codes, is not inhabited and is not attached to a residence. Earthbag structures provide a cool space in summer and an escape from the cold in winter (ideal for humans and animals), which means this earthbag dome is appropriate for many purposes, like a quiet space for relaxing or playing music, as well as those listed previously. Depending on your needs, the most practical combination of uses might be a root cellar or a cool pantry for daily use and a disaster shelter for emergencies such as tornadoes or hurricanes.
