Cave Entrance

 

Cut-and-Cover Cave -
Behrens & Hitchcock
Spring Mountain, Napa Valley

This cut-and-cover cave construction is becoming very popular. Rather than bore a tunnel into the hillside, you basically dig a big ditch, put in some lightweight overhead structure, gunnite the ceiling and walls, pour a concrete floor, and cover it all up by backfilling it. Viola! Instant cave.
