Luke's Anderson Shelter

I used all these materials to make my Anderson shelter.

  • thin cardboard

  • thick cardboard


  • corrugated cardboard
  • a twig

  • brown paint
  • black paint
  • green paint
  • glue gun or strong glue
  • grey paint
  • white paint

This is how i made it, First i got two thick peices of cardboard and stuck them together and that makes the base.

Then I made a template and cut it out and my dad used his glue gun to stick it down (get a responsible adult to do this).

Then I cut out a thin oblong with a curve on the top not a straight edge.

After get two thick peices of cardboard about 1cm wide and stick them down with glue with one edge up to the template and the back peice of the shelter (one on each side).

Then get a thin peice of cardboard and stick it with glue at the two sides and at the top of the shelter.

Next you will need to make a garden wall out of four pieces of thick cardboard,stick two together then stick the other two together, get some thin cardboard and cut it into strips the same size as the wall then stick one on one of the walls and the other on the other.

Now stick one wall on the left side of the base and one on the back of the base. Then do the same but make them lower and stick them on the other two sides they will be the ground level.

Now you will need to put paper mache in the base apart from in front of the door so that no edges on the shelter show.

Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience. See the link below for more info.

An fascinating discussion is price comment. I feel that it is best to write more on this matter, it won't be a taboo subject however usually people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers casino blackjack
