What about using layers of Osb bonded (gorilla glued) together to form the arches? Instead of stif warped wood? Ohh how would you insulate a structure like this? I need inexpensive housing!! I like this idea..but it’s the little things that get you.

Hi John Nock. Nice work! Totally agree this construction style is very efficient but yet so under-represented in the Florida housing market. I have a vacant residential lot 8500 sq feet (80wx100d) zone 2 , R1 zoning with minimum dwelling size of 750sq ft in Sebring Florida. The lot is semi rural with very modest houses blocks away. My lot faces a preserve - so no front neighbor. I talked to the county about what it would take get a structure like this to pass residential building codes. Seems the biggest challenge is getting a contractor and engineering to make drawings, then getting to R-30 insulation values on the ceiling and R-13 on the walls with such narrow wall systems. Great news is they seem to have no issues with aesthetics, interior open concept (no interior walls), having no electrical (plan off-grid later) and not having windows on the sides (only front and back). By chance have you explored what it would take to use this construction style for a primary tiny home dwelling and pass Florida building codes.. with structural, wind and energy requirements in Florida? If its possible it might have a very nice market opportunity. I've done some testing and research on my channel. I hope to start talking to engineer soon. Subbed. Congrats and Thanks.

You can make the walls as thick as you want, can't you? Just use thicker spacing blocks when you construct the trusses.

I'm thinking... as a low cost shed, this construction might have advantages over others. As a home, with windows on the sides, interior walls, insulation, HVAC, etc, the advantages will diminish. Your inquiry reminds me of the barndominium dilemma.

I am also in the same area and have been planning on buying from Arched Cabins in Texas. They make a kit for these that include steel ribs and the metal roofing, engineering drawings and can deliver them. These would literally easily alleviate some of the affordable housing shortage. They are cheap, termite proof and easily handle hurricane force winds. I work for a construction company and am working on making drawings for one. I am completely sold that these are the wave of the future.

I like how you are designing around using shape rather than more materials. In our area the metal is plentiful, and the wood can come off my sawmill. I spotted how you mentioned working with the ideal length truss. I'm guessing that is to make a roof where you can use full panels without cutting. Looking forward to more videos!

@@deanhammond4124 I’m happy for you and I know you can do it! That is a good size. You don’t need big honking arches. The arches on these sheds in this video look like the ones we made. My son did look at designs on the internet but he simplified or modified them. For example, a video by Loveiswithus shows the design, but if you read the comments, several guys suggest just what we did: we placed our strap of wood on the outside wall of our shop, bent it to the dimension Ben calculated was right. And then we put blocks along that strap to create the jig. There are two straps so we must have done a second one and positioned the blocks as needed. Keeping the arches uniform helps. And we screwed the arches together. We did not use any glue. I liked watching a video by Carol Broman , DIY Greenhouse. That is bigger and better than what we did. But it’s nice. Do Not watch Zack of all Trades! His version made me sick. He didn’t do anything right. I wish I could help you more.

Hi John, wish I could see one under construction, such as putting the metal on. Is it awkward, you have a ladder against the building working your way up? The fasteners self sealing so it doesn't leak? Is there some way of making skylights, a few clear plastic panels? I want to make a boat shed for a large boat. Is pressure treated really necessary if the ribs aren't getting wet? Thanks, Scott
@Campswampy13

Metal is easy using 2 or 3 extendable ladders Start at the bottom an just work your way up, extending the ladders as you go. Hint, use a builder’s level to establish the top of each end of the first sheet, that wat they have a much better chance of meeting at the top. PT I guess just bends better when it’s fresh and wet . Plastic panels would be fine, I don’t think they will last as long as metal If you give me your email address I will send you some construction photos. I can’t seem to do that in this message. Goodluck
