i don't have a design, but over the years i have poured a few foundations for some.

the nicer ones i see have a 4 foot concrete wall poured to grade. usally about 3 steps down into the floor, then decorative block on top. concrete floor with a drain to daylite.

i probably didn't explain it well, but in the right place ( well draining so they don't flood)they look great.

What seems to be the best way to do the roof. In Sinton, Texas they have a beautiful example of a field with the roof of the dugout being concrete also. Just trying to find out if the rebar would be one piece from the floor to the roof and how many supports between. Thanks for the reply.

you may need to consult an engineer in your area. but i have pored suspended slabs, having a sonotube (in the open front) about every 10 feet. with an L bar coming out of the tube tied to the rebar mat on the roof.

so the roof sits on the wall on 3 sides and the tubes in the front. small pitch on the roof for rain. but if you use all concrete it can become an oven inside (heat sink). a coloring or something would help that.

or you use a lam-beam or steel beam in the front,and a wood frame with tin roof. cooler in the texas sun?
