Re: Walk-in safe: Building it my way...
Humidifier will be in the strong room, extractor fan, as pointed out electricity, lights definite a filter coffee machine..I need to focus on the building process commencing on coming Friday..to use enough re-bar is essential ..I will go the same route as your family member by using heavy concrete lintels/beams for the roof and a re-bar mat filled in with strong concrete mix..

Re: Walk-in safe: Building it my way...
BBT, you are doing the easy part..every muscle in my back and arms are feeling today`s cement mixing work..it is these days most difficult to get down on my knees to use the spirit level to see if the foundation is level from the one corner to the other one..I did get the foundation quite level right through..man, it is difficult to get up after I have been on my knees for ten minutes to check the foundation level...I had to take frequent brakes to get my breath back after the cement mix with the spade..I forgot how hard type of work it was when I was still young and fit..now it really is a great struggle to mix cement in this huge quantities.. 1a2dfa18-8572-4f16-b165-ac1eeeae543e.jpg

Nope. It depends on the use of the vault. If you want to be a dealer then you must have certain minimum concrete thicknesses (cast minimum 300mm, brick wall with 200 mm concrete fill cavity, 10mm rebar mesh with squares of 100mm X 100mm) that's going off of memory so double check the numbers.
If it's just for personal use then it's up to your dfo as to whether or not he'll accept it as safe storage for guns. In this case I'd go with a safe inside the vault as a precaution.
