How Do You Build A Roof On An Igloo

This is why it is important to test the depth of the hard packed snow when choosing a spot for your igloo.

How do you build a roof on an igloo.

My husband used a skateboard. Continue adding blocks to form a dome removing snow build up from the inside as you work. When you get to the top of the igloo door you need to use something to support more snow on top. If you need thicker bricks or more than one row of bricks you can do it now.

Start stacking it high use snow to act like cement to pack it in. All of the snow you use to build your igloo should come from inside the perimeter of the igloo. You should build your igloo on a spot that has at least 2 feet 0 6 m of hard packed snow. Please try again later.

Add the last few blocks from inside the igloo leaving a small ventilation hole in the roof. Before closing up the igloo roof i had to construct the roof of the entrance to support the front side wall of the igloo. A simple step by step video on how to make an igloo by yourself. This feature is not available right now.

I continued building upwards until it was time to install the final 2 roof cap blocks to seal the whole thing up. Unfortunately i did not take a picture just before the final blocks were added.
