Premade Concrete Canvas Tents - Just Add Water
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2018
- Concrete Canvas, is a concrete impregnated fabric, that once water has been added to it, it hardens in a durable waterproof & fire resistant layer. Essentially, it's concrete on a roll.
The canvas is made of 4 layers, a fabric surface to hold the concrete pre mix in place, fibers that link the outer players together so it hold a uniform shape regardless the angle you use the material on, then you have the dry concrete mix and lastly you have a waterproof PVC backing.
Concrete Canvas is a low mass technology which uses up to 95% less material than conventional solutions. A single pallet of Concrete Canvas can cover the same area as two 17T concrete mixer trucks.
Thanks for watching

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★
*1) The Tent is too expensive and not worth it* - Yes you are right, for you and me. But it was probably design for organisations that require a building to be setup fast in remote locations, like the military or emergency reaction forces in storm damaged areas. A place that can be setup real fast and outfitted as a HQ, to organise forces, and once finished they just have it demolished.
*2) Concrete is not waterproof, the tent will leak* - That is why it has a white plastic membrane inside, so the water stays outside the plastic, plus this tent was not designed for long term conditions, just quick reaction forces like the military.
*3) It does not have windows or ventilation, you will suffocate unless you leave the doors open* - well maybe that is what they had in mind with the design, something quick and sturdy for short term duration as a Headquaters and if need be I am sure they can always cut a hole and fit a vent.
*4) Most of you are focusing on the tent and not the material itself* - The tent is just one small factor of what this video was about and what this material is good for and what it can do.
*5) Most of you are saying the Military would never use these tents* - My opinions above are just that, opinions on who might use these tents, no one is saying just the military will buy and use them. I just check the Concrete Canvas website, these tents are still listed as an item they sell, and they say they have a *"designed life of 10 years"*
Here is the webpage for these tents - www.concretecanvas.com/cc-shelters
The military does not and would not use that nonsense. We have all the tentage and shelters we need. This thing is nonsense.
That "tent" is designed for a government budget where the people who pay for it don't give a shit on how much it cost ... it's what is wrong with governments!!
@@SupaNami Um, the people paying are the tax payer! You and I for instance...

"Dug out a rough trench"

Seriously! That excavator operator done good
Thats how professionals do
Maybe the soil is helping (a clay job that cuts like butter? They are so satisfying) but also this is a channel trench which we tend to shape up unlike the service trenches that we going to backfill anyways.
This is job well done by the operators, I am just explaining the messiness. Someone said exactly what you said couple of weeks ago and a senior operator explained it to us way better than I done here soz.
That's _after_ they _"and then used a trench mould to fill in dirt around it"._ It's literally in the same sentense.
Well if he’s getting paid for it then yes, he does.

I can barely afford rent, but I'm convinced I now need to buy concrete canvas for some reason
Buy some, build a cave, no more rent = win.
Same! This is cool but I want a 3d printed concrete house but with a green roof planted with succulents.
Use the concrete canvas and appoxy to make a lazy river style moat pond surrounding it with koi, albino sturgeons and turtles. Filter the pond using aquaponics methods to grow food and power everything with solar.

If they found out they could make it thinnner and lighter and some kind of Chemical reaction could, when sprayed with water, would expand and become heavy but strong again, than this material or tent would actually be a very important development for the space industry.

I'm gonna set up one of their concrete forts in my living room.
an interesting application of the thinner variety, if it had marine-grade concrete: DIY boat hulls.
My grandfather made a sailboat hull out of mesh and a thin layer of marine concrete. Less complicated to do then fiberglass, and more rot-resistant then wood. provided there was a good way to seal the seams, two of those rolls over some formers could churn out a 30-ft/10m boat for a fraction of what fibreglass typically costs (since you need a wooden core, then fiberglass and resin layers on both sides). It wouldn't be quite as light, but would likely weigh less then Grandad's boat did, and that sailed fine back in the day (It was before my time, though he still had the hull when I was born)
First steel-concrete structure was actually a boat in France
Very interesting idea. It would be very quick to lay up a hull over a former with this type of product. Much quicker than having to mould cement around the mesh reinforcement. The most important part of a ferro-cement hull isn't the cement, it actually doesn't have to be a marine grade. As you paint the hull anyway.
The most important part is making sure that the steel mesh reinforcement is marinised. I wouldn't even use galvanized; high grade stainless or go home really. Too many horror stories of rust intrusion expanding inside the cement and causing the hull to fall apart in chunks. Still, a well made ferro-cement hull is stronger than any other.
I recycled used carpet, then use it with concrete like shingles, they are very heavy once impregnated with Portland and water. Works great for erosion barrier.
@Matt S Mold only grows where the RH is high enough to condense water, but with out any stone in the mix there is far less for water to condense on anyway, which makes the mix more hydrophobic. It's so dry here that I use the same system for radiant cooling and heating. Besides, you would be surprised how much mold is in a normal home, it's disgusting.
Imagine the skateparks you could set up with this stuff
my thoughts EXACTLY
Big brain idea.
Owen, you can’t even do a kickflip
did you see how bumpy the surface was? even in that smooth trench they made
Four of those thin sections would make a good backyard ramp.
all fun and games until someone wraps your car in it...
You could make a garage that fits like a glove!
That's a amazing idea fir a prank that I'd like to see
Ha!
Hummmmmm, thanks
I love shit like this

Iv been living in a Premade Concrete Canvas Tent for 3 years! Its nice and cold in the summer and nice and cold in the winter too. Plus no windows for people to stare at me inside my bunker while I do the things that make me feel like god.
😆😆😆👏🏽
Im being honest here, have you really? It sounds like a joke but at the off chance that its real I would like to know please lol
Never knew how much I needed this till now...
Concrete canvas is great for homesteading... This is going to be the route I take ! Buy some land, get like 5 of these, and boom excellent shelter
BRILLIANT...Always wondered how they held slopes on side of highways...SO COOL...learned something new today!!! Thank you
Look up shockcrete
@@aorider1 ...quite amazing!!!!..thanks for that
Yeah all the ones I’ve ever seen are actually shotcrete. But this canvas is awesome!
Now I know how the state stabilized a hillside above a big retaining wall, it was with "concrete canvas." Very cool stuff.
or they pin mesh on it and spray it. much much much much cheaper.
This technology will definitely pave the way for great success and ideas for the future 👍
lol nice one
to all who criticised the ventilation:
1. there are vents in the doors
2. there are doors on both ends
this means that air can constantly flow through the structure.
Also, it's just concrete. You can surely drill holes for more ventilation if you want.
@@milesmccall2301 Thank you, exactly.
A 20,00$ to $30,000 dollar tent 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ I mean it's cool but it's not that cool.
Courtney Chappell if it was $1,500-2,500 I would buy it in a snap. Put a tent up on my farm then bring in dirt and bury it for insulation and a storm shelter.
Why would you expect to pay less for this than a garden shed?
Its more than a tent lmao. Do you expect to take this camping?
@ProseColored Glasses they, as the concrete structure shaped like a tent are permanent once set. they are not portable ,the portable part is the system to set it up.
Yeah, there are numerous ways to build a cheaper and better permanent structures.
That "bye bye" at the end is the biggest gift to mankind
:)
Thanks for not wasting 7 more minutes of my time and getting straight to the point of why I even clicked on the video in the first place, Cheers.
The tent is cool and all, but that anti-rockslide method was truly a wonderful use of this material.
Reduce That Cost To About $5000 For The "Tent" And Under $20 Per Square Meter For The Fabric, Then You Have A Real Market.
@Mit U I Think A Lot Of People Would Invest In Them For Multiple Reasons If They Were Affordable. It Would Be Great For A Somewhat Portable Permanent Shelter That Could Be Installed Just About Anywhere, Like On A Remote Mountain Or A Backyard.
At that price an "instant garage" would do really well
@@donaldpyper4627 It Would Be Even Better And More Insulated Than Shipping Container Shelters.

This is the most brilliant idea, especially for here in Florida where hurricanes are plentiful.

Awesome. This could revolutionize do-it-yourself homesteading.
It's great for water-storage too. Have some similar around here for emergency water.
WOW! The answer to my koi pond needs lol
My wife and kids left me after I spent my last dime on this stuff, after watching this video, but who cares! My entire house is now completely covered in this stuff. Rock Solid!
Great Concept, I Had This Idea When I Was 10 years Old, But Hey, THIS Product Is SUPER OVERPRICED !!
I dipped my backpack in quickcrete, sprayed it with water, let it dry and now my back is killing me!
Dude, you should have just used a camping tent spray for waterproofing
It would be good for making cycle paths quickly from scratch.
I feel like i just watched a commercial and it was so worth it! now i need to find some concrete fabric and have fun.
Fantastic product. Why is this not everywhere? Someone needs a marketing team!!
Just watch out for the load bearing characteristics of containers. They are very strong at corners for vertical stacking, but you are not supposed to even walk on the unreinforced top (roof). I thought of using concrete canvas for hardening a simple either above ground or buried container house the first time I saw info on it. The rolls are also pretty heavy to move and unroll, requiring a pretty hefty forklift, front end loader, etc.
Not to mention how ridiculously hot it will be in one of those...
How do you explain *this* to a caveman?
"It's a "special dust" carpet that becomes stone if you spray water on it"
*"THE WHAT?"*
No wait let me show you a video on my phone
This is pretty amazing for erosion and flood control. Wow.
Mind blown~! This is AMAZING!!!
I hope they come up with a multi layer system that you can add rebar in the middle, this would be awesome to do a foundation for a simple shed or something like that in your yard or a garage floor
A lot of criticism of this product seems to be from people who seem to think this is a consumer product. That's completely misguided - this product is clearly aimed at civil engineering and military use where budgets are large enough to afford this kind of thing.
My main concern with this outside of the obvious price issue is the longevity. With the water-works example it seems like the vast majority of the work has to be completed anyway so the only benefit the concrete canvas seems to have over pre-fabricated elements or poured-in-place structures is it's weight and thus transport costs. However at only 10mm thick at best any water way would quickly erode through it meaning the channel would need constant maintenance. This is not to mention the dubious structural integrity of such a system when faced with things such as landslides, storm surges or otherwise. Either way it seems like the money saved in transport costs will be far less than the money spent on maintaining the structure.
As for the 'military' application with the 'tents'...it's laughable. The aim of the product is to establish a reasonably hardy shelter in a quick time-span, yet it accomplishes neither by military standards. A thin layer of concrete like this probably won't even stop some small arms fire, and having to wait 24 hours (after supplying the water as well) is a long time. In a 'hot' combat environment sandbags, Hesco barriers and other such devices are far superior in protection while being logistically simple and quickly established (not to mention the incremental nature of their construction. Every sandbag filled is a little extra protection - as opposed to this tent thing which is nothing until it's fully cured). In places not expected to receive incoming fire I see no reason why normal canvas tents can't be used as they have been for centuries. Tents like these are far lighter and cheaper and don't require anything but manpower to erect, unlike the concrete canvas 'tents' which demand both a water supply and a source of compressed air to be usable.
It's a nice idea, and it no doubt has it's advantages - however it costs far too much for far too little gain over the competitors. The bonuses it claims to grant are only counteracted by the flaws of it's design.
That's why I was mad. My tax dollars buy junk.
PremadeConcreteCanvasTentsjust addwaterbatteriesnotincluded THAT'S FUNTASTIC!
Absolutley amazing!
the tent sounds like a nice pre fab home, just add a shower and toilet + power/ac/internet and boom... home sweet home :D
Exactly what I was thinking or maybe even a rich person preppers dream, could put a portable home in the bed of your truck.
That would be great for small projects like steps.
A person would have to consider how much a roll of that stuff would weigh.
It would take a crane or fork truck to move a small roll.
Awesome product. Thanks for sharing.👍
Ingenious, so many ways to use this material!
you think? most of what is shown is done way way cheaper by applying metals mesh and concrete spraying it.. its how a lot of swimmingpools are done and inside of tunnels.
Welcome back to another episode of “how is this in my recommend”
Today’s special guest: “what is in my recommended”
i'm wondering what the service life of these materials are.
when can you expect the PVC membrane to fail for example.
and how does it handle thermal expansion after it has hardened?
Yeah, it seems like a quick fix solution for temporary installations, not a replacement for higher-quality construction methods.
Amazing stuff, what a brainstorm of an idea!
I've worked with this exact product, great stuff
I've seen the road-side surfacing a few time, always have to take a double take when I see them because it looks like a bad video game render

This is actually Revolutionary technology
I work at the factory that this is made, it was an exciting time when we realise this had taken off. This stuff is seriously underestimated.
I've noticed the price of the material hasn't gone down much, is that due to manufacturing costs? Or some other factor?
This is amazing. This is a miracle material...we can incorporate it with RCC Roof house. Pouring RCC slab is a difficult job, needs man power, setup, concrete mixing machines, this canvas makes it so much better.
They had that in an old book about Star Wars.
My dream of owning concrete underpants has been fulfilled!
Amazing stuff !!! never knew existed. Thx. for the video.
This is great! Thanks for featuring us, Wonder World!
Sure no problem, it is an interesting building material.
Concrete_Canvas I think it would be great for making cycle paths especially from scratch, cheaply & quickly.
Fantastic product but I have to ask, is there any issue with the overlapping and the dry mix now under the waterproof pvc backing? or gushing water flow lifting the now solid shape?
think of the overlap matting like tiles on a roof, you overlap them in the direction the water flows. if there is backwash at a join, that I have no idea.
We need to have a concrete canvas production plant in Hawaii for the Pacific basin too.
This wonder material needs to be scaled up for the world to use. The use case of concrete canvas is limitless.
Imagine trying to set up a tent while it’s raining.
you wouldnt have to spray it if it rains hard enough. it takes hours to set it wouldnt be a problem

Looks like a good solution for early Mars habitats...
actually, yes. why nobody has considered this :o
There is no water on Mars.....
@@HxCxDxE There is in fact water of Mars. And there is also ice that can be heated up to create water. That being said, these still wouldn't be very viable unless a large shipment of water is sent first, preferable along with rovers designed to set up the shelter for testing purposes.
Thinking about it though, I believe that concrete also requires oxygen. Well, that deflates that idea.

1:28 the rough water channel is better than a smooth canal.
It depends on a lot of things, like slope, the amount of area being drained, what is up and downstream, and how much water it is projected to handle.
@@MonkeyJedi99 with better I also mean better as habitat for animals, as well as looks better. Apart from better water management.
@@Flederratte Fair points.
@@Flederratte This was my thought as well. Furthermore, the rough water channel is far, far better for floodwater management in regards to absorption, whereas a smooth concrete channel will violently overflow once it fills.
I think.
Brilliant actually genius..
If it were only a little bit cheaper I’d consider making a home out of it. I look forward to seeing some more videos of liveable dwellings made of this material in the future. I hope you have some more vids on it coming soon. Thanks for your time and effort in bringing this to us 👍🏼
The indoor air quality would be awful. You wouldn't want to live in this thing full time.
I've got so many questions about this as potential house structure or shop., like primarily how well would this hold up in high winds, what would be used as a foundation to satisfy city regulations, and so on. Not many buildings will hold up to a tornado - but I personally would still like to know what kind of wind speeds this will stand up against.

This is awesome!
That's pretty cool!
When I first heard about concrete canvas, I thought about making a pool out of it.
Imagine having the freedom of going crazy on the shape and building pretty much whatever's you want
Yeah until I the price lol
So a 5 meter long by 4 wide and 2 meters deep pool would be 56 sq meters, times around $40 per sq meter equals $2240, but you'd still probably want to invest in concrete around the pool so it doesn't crack from maaaany tons of water
@ Ohm Betta Fish, They already have concrete pools, it's call Gunite.
Next time I owe taxes, I'm sending a tent and a bag of cement, with a note that says "keep the change."

I just did a quick Google on that. $23,000 to $30,000. A lot of better, cheaper ways to do that .. Hell, buy a used, run-out camper trailer and park it on a gravel pad. Hook up a generator and you have a cozy little place for less than $5,000. Hmmmmm. Damn, that sounds like a good idea. I might have to look around for a patch of land to put one on ...
William Potter Actually that’s similar to what I have right now .I have a cargo trailer I converted to a camper this way I don’t have to worry about the roof leaking fully stocked 😊 I got solar on it an outdoor shower even a small wood-burning stove in case I run out of propane ..Or gasoline for my generator..But the most important thing is ammunition😁👍

Amazing technology
MOst awesome, space applications to this wonderful product as well!
$30k?! That is a lot more expensive than a modular home build.
yet, really not much more expensive than a normal military tent. Typical tent systems used by the Government/UN run anywhere from 10-30K+ (DRASH). used tents can easily sell for 5K+. Many of these systems are designed and priced for long term semi permanent use in areas where constructing any form of structure would typically require more resources and manpower than immediately available. Tents of that sort are more expensive than people would typically think, but most people aren't setting up semi permanent installations in 3rd world countries or operating a small forward operating base and the materials used in their construction is far, far better quality than what most associate with "Tents" they would buy at REI or Walmart.
Far more durable than a modular home, though, so................
And a Modular Home lasts alot longer than 10 yrs.
@@JourneysADRIFT I'm pretty sure modular homes fit the requirements of "long term semi permanent use"

This is amazing! 😊
Nice, but too expensive. You could do almost do the same thing with vinyl bags that contain cement powder. Just spread out a bag on the ground, then add water. It will harden into a panel in twenty four hours. Total cost for an 8x12 panel would be around a hundred dollars. You could even make one long panel, which can be lifted by a few men, and then folded into a box. And it could have window and roof openings. Always look at cost. There’s usually a cheaper way to do just about anything.

I'd rather put up a canvas tent, then spray it with polyurethane. Much cheaper, wouldn't crack as fast, can be reapplied, flexible, waterproof without extra layers, dries/ready for use in minutes.
Agreed!
Felt + Polyurethane = A fairly lightweight and waterproof structure.
Hell, even a roll of t-shirt material or bedsheets ought to work just fine!
polyurithane isnt fireproof
They also seem like a prepper type shelter as well.
@@gregistopal true. Probably wouldn't want any tent to be within 15-30 ft of a fire, anyway.
That sort of tent is far from semi-permanent. You cant fix things to the walls either like you would need if using this as a casualty centre after an earthquake etc.
This is crazy amazing!!!!!
Wow this is so brilliant !
