Thinking about a root cellar inside our Menard's building. Anyone have any incite into how this can be done?

1. What's a Menard's building? Is it a building you already own?

2. Metal building and yes we own one that is being used as a garage and will eventually have a "guy" room, and if I have my way a small barn area in the back and a root cellar in one of the corners. Just have to figure out how to insulate it so the root crops do not freeze in the winter and stay cool enough so they do not rot.

3. I think you need something "sub grade" and not on a slab

People wall off a room in the basement and then open a small window to the outside to chill it. The room is subgrade and subtly heated by the house above so that the building stays above freezing.

Vegetables are set onto a tray of damp sand. The moisture keeps the produce. It is rather intuitive with root crops, but other crops are stored in a moist storage area too.

I have seen off grid underground storage that is a perpendicular "drain tile" with a round lid. You would put that elsewhere from your metal building, of course.

4. I can't tell you offhand

but I remember a few issues ago Mother Earth magazine discussed making your own root cellars. You might be able to do a google search for it.

Sorry it's not much but I hope it helps.

On the second try, the primitive spells it correctly.

Understandable, after a lifetime of left wing politics the first spelling of the word was probably done out of reflex.
