Mine is made with 8 inch wide "Poured Walls" with
1 foot wide "Footings". I left a sand bottom, but there is room on the inside of the walls, on
top of the footings, to put 2 x 6's across to
stand on, for heighth.I'm 5'10, so my depth is
6 feet from the top of the shop floor, down to
the top of the footings. Width is 4 feet, length
is 15 feet. Access is by steps at the shop door
end. I have a "Ground fault outlet at each end,
and Air quick dissconnects at each end, for air
tools. I left a 4 inch wide ledge on each side,
three inch's below floor level, and have cut
2 x 6's to fit in all the way, so it has a completely covered floor when not in use.
In winter, in Wisconsin we get several months of
freezing weather,(actually, 3 or 4 months) and
2 to 3 weeks of 30 below zero weather. We store
bulbs and root vegetables in the pit, and they
never freeze there, even when there's no heat in
the shop. We call it our "Root cellar".
