I used an existing garage that provided three sides enclosed by earth, and the walls, ceiling, and floor already gave me reinforced concrete in all directions. We framed, and insulated the walls and ceiling, ran the wiring for the lights and outlets, then closed the walls in with 5/8” plywood, for use to hang items in the event a stud wasn’t available. Used an epoxy finish for the floor, added some paint and stain to the walls and ceiling, installed a mini-split and dehumidifier, then jackhammered into the foundation to install the vault door. Sealed off the garage door opening with new reinforced concrete and brick work.
Once all of the construction was finished, I took the proceeds from the sale of my safe and purchased the display system from Tactical Walls up near Shenendoah. Then I mounted my reloading bench and work bench to the frames of the walls to give me extra leverage to yank and bank on when the need arises.
