gun room

[MP38]

It really depends on the layout of your home. A smart person will know that the basement of your house usually follows the layout of the upstairs of your house. So having a "hidden" room is difficult to fool the keen observer.

Having said that, I have seen several that are really good. One I've seen had a "hidden room" under the garage. Normally, you wouldn't have a basement under the garage, so it was perfect for "concealment". He had a bar in his basement, and the back bar had an automated sliding doors to it, to reveal a bank type vault door, the when opened, would lead to his gun room. The doors were controlled with a simple garage type remote. Very cool, and very concealed, but also a lot of work, money, and preparations to do it.

Another one I've seen has a "hidden room" under the porch. Again, you wouldn't think there would be a basement under the porch, so it it's easily concealed. He concealed it by having a work shop in his basement, and had large peg board with hanging tools on it. If you turn one of the pegs, the peg board swings open, revealing the vault door, and inside is the gun room. Very simple, and not easily seen to the casual observer.

Both really good designs. All depends on your home, and how much money/time you want to spend on it? Think outside the box!
