outdoor workshop area, ideas

I've been doing a lot of carpentry on my tailgate and welding on a pop-up metal table, but all basically in the field. I'd like to build an outdoor workshop. I'm thinking I can keep my tools in weather-proof containers and bring them out as needed. It's not as good as a fully enclosed workshop, but it's a lot better than what I have now. Also with welding I like to have a lot of open air flow because of the fumes, I generally am doing fluxcore.  I'm thinking:

earthbag walls 4 feet high

metal braced/anchored against the bag walls, going up to support a solar panel roof

metal table bench for

frost-proof hydrant nearby

240/120 outlet

Just curious if anyone has any feedback or ideas.

Sounds like a 'bunker'!
Why the earth walls, do you get annoying breezes through the area?
Why solar, you cannot weld with it, or have you developed something?
Why a hydrant, I dont think I have ever seen one near a workshop?

What about a carport type structure with a partial wall to hold tools up off the ground or the workbench.
You get shade, no dew or rain on anything!
And you can catch some water off the roof as well.

My thought is that your plan will work great when you are working during the daytime. All that natural light will be helpful, while you have a dry and well-ventilated space to work in.

Hey,

Ideas thoughts etc,

Make the roof easy to blow off, ie for an explosion etc.

Grease and cling wrap tool that will be not used for long periods of time.

Have some log ramps for driving wheels over, so you can get a bit more height you can even weld little metal ramps as well if you need.

When working outside it becomes easy to loose tools, they become hard to find,
in dirt is easy, but in grass very hard.  so have something to lay tools down on or place them on so you do not leave them on the ground.

a good bench is a must have,

and having lighting is always good, I like the idea of having a solar fan for ventilation.

I also like the idea of solar lights.

one more aspect you might want to consider is security if you are in a suburban or urban area.

And, guys, please think about posting or cross-posting to this established thread...

Your Homestead Workshop/Shed Situation?

Something like this would make a great outdoor workshop instead of a bench it would have a worktable.

This would give a place to store the tools also:
