- We Built an A-Frame Cabin: START to FINISH with timelapse
What a journey! We built this tiny A-frame cabin every other weekend over the course of six months and let me tell you... it seriously tested our patience but we pushed through and are so proud of the end result!
This tiny A-frame will be used as an airbnb and we'll be adding more videos of the deck/landscape/setup etc once we complete those projects so stay tuned!
As mentioned in the previous videos we are total amateurs. We have made our fair share of mistakes but they were great learning opportunities and we've come a long way.
Thank you for following along on this journey with us and don't hesitate to comment below if you have any questions.

The A frame is the most sleek, simple, yet sophisticated design in my opinion. Nicely done.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Yessir. A-Frames are also really nice cause they save a pretty good amount of materials. An A frame cabin with a loft bedroom can end up having just as much space as a normal cabin, while also looking interesting AND being cheaper. :)
L'unico problema è che vicino alle pareti a causa degli angoli non si può arredare Come si vuole e, a parità di metri quadri, ha meno spazio di una casa normale però il lavoro per costruirla è molto minore e il materiale molto meno
Someone get this man a box of torx drive construction screws. They dont cam out like philips.
And a impact driver
I just got the idea, now I know how do mine, your guys did it really simple to understand, I saw a video where a guy made the bathroom separated of the A-cabin, between the A-cabin and bathroom he made a small wood floor with a couple chairs! Thanks for the video, its great!
The bathroom video will be coming out soon and we built it right near the a frame. Thanks for watching! 😊
4 minutes in and this is the smarter build I've seen; I could probably do it this way.
Wow. Tons of work. You guys worked together, even the kid and the dog. Well done.
Thank you!!

wow this gives new meaning to the term "building on a budget"
Молодцы, ребята...! Очень комфортабельный домик в лесном массиве получился👍))) В работе были задействованы все члены семьи и каждый внёс в этот проект частичку своей души... Очень понравилась ваша совместная работа👍!
Thank you! It was definitely a fun family project.
I absolutely love it thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for watching! 😊
Good little project. A small wood chipper will be handy to make trails mud and dirt free,chip all the small brush an thin the under growth will make the place a fairy tal setting. Neat idea for a build.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip! 😊

Great A-Frame cabin build.
Thank you!
Reminded me of the time when me and my dad built his house 1500 sq ft 3 bdrm A frame .We did every single thing from dirt work to finished even snowed on us lol 2 ,1/2 years paycheck to paycheck hauled everything on the roof of our car best memories of my life .only mistake we couldn't fix was only doing it once ,we should of kept building other houses stay strong and follow your dreams .👍🏘
That’s amazing! I can’t imagine the work that went into doing that. This A-frame seriously tested us and it’s teeny tiny. But like you, memories were definitely made. Thanks for watching!
❤Cute, good job. that plastic clear cover is great for patio top.
Thank you! 😊
great job! Looks amazing, I am sure this is a very popular AIRBNB for you!!!
Thanks so much! It has been, guests are loving it! 🏕️
Just beautiful and I love it. Good job 👏 enjoy 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Amazing couple. Amazing work. Keep posting. My best wishes ❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
I like the dormers for the windows that will give you nice cross ventilation and just looks nice. I’m assuming you are not going to Air BnB this in the winter, I didn’t see you put in any insulation under the floor or sidewalls. Nice build and a good look.
We insulated the whole A-Frame as seen in the second half of the video. We will be adding a direct vent propane heater in the fall and will be open in the winter. Thanks for watching! ☺️
@@TheDoerDuo I must have missed something I will rewatch the video your ideas are good. I want to build a ham shack in the wooded part of my mountain property. And a small A frame might just work because of the roof tip. 73
Mamma come siete Veloci!!!!....😉👍💖e Bravissimi👍💖
Great Video, brilliant Project, I've always wondered about an a frame cabin thanks for sharing
Thanks so much and thanks for watching! 😊
OMG !!!
I WANT TO LIVE HERE , COZY, SIMPLE BUT BEAUTIFUL !!!
So glad you like it! 😊
Parabéns!
Ficou muito bom o acabamento do chalé!
Thank you so much!
Que bonito..❤
That is beautiful, good job, and your little helper such a sweetheart 🩷
Thank you! He was a great supervisor 😂
@@TheDoerDuo щщщззхзх
Love the video especially seeing youre little helper made me remember when i use help my dad when i was kid thank you for helping me to remember this memorie ❤
Thank you! We’re hoping he remembers just as you do.
Great job, well done guys. If you do another one, use wooden pins or nails, not screws for the framing, outside the stresses and strains from the elements will require the frame to be a little flexible. Screws are great where there is no movement and will snap when put under tension, where as a pin or nail will bend, which also helps stop the timber from splitting. 8~)
I’ve never even heard of wooden pins but it makes a whole lot of sense. Thanks for the tip!
Bad advice. Nails actually back out and get loose over time due to expansion/contraction due to temp/moisture changes. Modern structural screws are designed to compensate for this. It's not like the old days where the screw heads would just pop off if the wood expanded. You guys absolutely made the correct choice.
@@TheDoerDuo Hi can you please tell where the location and how much total to build a such tiny house including land or instruction it? I can help you with something else such as I learned 《feng shui》many problem I saw in American house inside......and I can help to adjust that I can bring many people for purchasing such house but please reply with details!
Incredible job! That little pop out is such a good idea..really wish I did that😆
Thanks so much! 😊
Great fun with the family Building an A-Frame Cabin from start to finish..
It was, thank you!
ขอบคุณสำหรับความรู้จาก Thailand ครับ❤
🙏🙏You guys are so wonderful. The house is so beautiful as it blends with nature, a beautiful A-frame house model. Thank you for allowing me to refer and learn from this wonderful house model. Sincerely🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much! 😊
i love the products in the car. get it done. no limits
We don’t have fancy equipment so the car is a huge asset!
@@TheDoerDuo Showed this to my wife as she has been on many a similar journey back from the DIY store packed in between sheets of timber just like this! 🙂
YESS !!!!
Awesome!
If you build another one take my professional advice as a licensed home inspector. Put roof felt on the inside walls first, then put Styrofoam panels, then R13 sheets, then cover all with plastic drop cloth stapled. Then put your wallcoverings, e.g., wood panels etc. Your heating bill if you use little pot belly type electric heaters from Lowe's etc , will run about $65.00 only a month. The same billing for summer using 5,000 btu wall A/C's.
That’s great advice thanks! We appreciate it ☺️
Cute and cozy! Hopefully one day we can own on our property.
I love your work on this "A"-frame. I will use the technique along with two small wooden yurts on the ends. Do you have the plans for this beautiful structure for a fee?
Thank you so much and that sounds like a great idea! We bought plans on Etsy from elevated spaces but added dormers of our own which we learned from various UA-cam videos. Good luck on your build!
To all the dorks complaining that people won’t stay here. I have a 14x14 tiny cabin in the woods with no running water or bathroom. Just an outhouse. And people love it. 5 Star rating on Airbnb. I have a hot tub and wifi set up that I believe likely tips the scales in my favor. But either way most people are looking for a little adventure. Quit being negative and try it sometime. Lol
💯 If only they knew how special it is. Lots of people truly do love to get away from the daily grind and have a unique experience.
awesome stuff. Great to see the whole family involved
Thank you! It was definitely a fun family project 😊
What a great job. I am planning on building the Diedricksen A frame in late fall.
Probably no renting. Just an extra hangout and place for guests.
I haven’t heard of that one before, I’ll check it out. Good luck on the build!
I’ve built the diedricksen, variation without the swing out as it’s in wild animal and the occasional bear country. Used 2x6 for the main A frames and walls, I have no doubt it could be put on a trailer / it’s solid as a rock. The little buddy propane heater is ample even without insulation in the NC winter. Keep in mind a light colored roof keeps the temp down substantially in the summer, and a small vent near the floor on one end and a small vent near the ceiling on the other naturally cools it too. Enjoy your build!
@mesprojects674 I built it and man is it great. I get a lot of compliments on it. My wife and I go out there and enjoy our music and beverages.
My son stayed in it a couple nights when he visited.
Good job..Happy Family.. Congratulations 🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😊
Parabéns amigos! muito lindo o chalé da família, decoração nota 1000

I enjoyed every second of this project. Lovely finish 🥰
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 😊
So cool guys, it was so meaningfull with the process✨
Thank you for your kind worlds and for watching! 😊
nice couple a good team for work
Cute A frame. Was there any sort of vapor barrier installed for the floor?
Thank you! No, it’s elevated but we didn’t insulate the floor. It’s a seasonal rental.
Hola me encanto quedo hermosa cual es el alto que queda la construcción y felicitaciones ..gracias 🇨🇱
Thanks for watching! The A-Frame is about 12ft in height.
Beautiful cabin!
We have some beautiful turkish rugs as well.
Thank you! Turkish rugs are so gorgeous and they last forever.
Amazing cabin.
Thank you so much! 😊
La cabina con questo tetto mi piace tantissimo
I’m glad you got rid of the plastic.
Same!

Thank you so much! ☺️
Turn your cement blocks where the holes are running up and down they will bost the way you have them laying
Thanks for the tip
Invest in a impact driver and torx screws, its a life changing discovery lol.
We’re definitely going to invest in those for our next build.
I was going to suggest the same thing. Dewalt makes a bunch of cordless tools (circular saw, sawzall, 1/4" impact driver). The Impact would cut you screwing time in probably a 1/4. Invest in the bigger batteries though, bc those tools use lots of power. Also as a contractor, I only use T25 screws, they seen to slip WAY less.
Thanks for the tips! We’re learning as we go and constructive info like this really helps us out. 😊
Great accomplishment & wish you well with th AirBnB.. Just curious why you didnt insulate the floor.... Wasnt shown in the video did you use calking around the windows? & I guess more to come means a heat source???? Lots of fun watching your family working on a great project.....
Yeah, we decided to make it a seasonal rental so we didn’t add insulation to the floors but added insulation to the walls for noise cancelling as the a-frame is a few hundred feet off of a road. We’re kicking ourselves now because we’d like to add a direct vent propane heater to extend the season. We’re on the fence. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@TheDoerDuo your build really resonated with me I thought about this after - mostly how it would stand the test of time... Wondered also about critters getting under neath & nesting.. You got this.. keep up the great work.... Look forward to the next build or build out !!!
@@speliotis thank you for following along. We’ve got our eye on the next project. Our last cabin has been up for almost two years with high traffic and she’s standing strong so hopefully this one will do the same 🤞
You are @@TheDoerDuo Wish you all the best. inspiring & enriching others...
Thank you for sharing the complete process of building an A-frame cabin. Sincerely
Thank you for watching! It was a fun project
Love it great job
Thank you! 😊
Top demais. Parabéns
Thank you!
Hello! Nice job! Can i ask yoy wich store you fiind this 4 ciment Block for corners to put de wood frame? How they named?
Thank you!
They are called deck blocks and are sold at any big box building store like Home Depot or Lowe’s
😊😅 I see the lil supervisor is doing what supervisors do...
Oh yeah! He’s very serious about his job 😂
It's awesome..
I love it...
Thanks you! 😊
How cool would it be to connect 4 sections like this into a cross shape? 2 of the "arms" could be large bedrooms.
That would be cool!
Hey guys, how did you come up with the design plans for the cabin? Also, any books or videos you recommend as a guide to do what you did? Great video btw!
Thank you! We followed the majority of the build with plans bought on Etsy (Elevated Spaces Shop) by @jeffwaldman. We added the dormers ourselves and a metal roof instead of the plastic roof for more stability.
@@TheDoerDuoawesome, ty for the advice
smart with the buckets
We work with what we’ve got. No fancy equipment here. Basically buckets and a lawn mower with a dump cart. 😂
So what do you do for the bathroom and shower facilities or do u just not worry about that or do u Putin a camping toilet and no shower ??? Any ideas to give someone interested in doing the same thing
I will be doing a full walk around tour of our setup pretty soon but we use it as an Airbnb. We have an outdoor screened in kitchen and we built an outhouse and outdoor shower with a propane water heater. People have been loving it!
Love it. Do u have a list of materials /quantity and the dimensions of cabin?
I don’t have a list but we based the build largely off of the plan by elevated spaces on Etsy. The size is 10x12 ft.
Great and wonderful work is a cute cage.
Thank you! 😊
the window bump outs OMG
It’s so gorgeous!! 🥰😍 Just curious to learn. What was being painted on the inside of the walls before insulation was installed ? It was the color white. Thanks!
Thank you!! We initially weren’t going to add insulation so we started painting the walls white.
Hello, I watched the video. You created a very beautiful house and I must say it's great
Thank you so much! 😊
So pretty
Thank you! 😊
Well done my friend❤.
Thank you! 😊
Awesome, congrats
Thanks so much! 😊
Can you tell the sizes? It looks realy nice.
Yes, it’s a 10x12 with a height of 12ft
Amen. Amen. I love you. Ha lle lu ya. Shalom. Shalom.

Doesn't chicken wire treat a-frames?
Great upload thanks 😊
Thank you! I’m not sure about the chicken wire.
Çok güzel bir iş çıkardınız aferin size özel insanlar siniz. Gerçekçi olalım ki maddiyat da önemli 😊
Thank you! We’re very transparent with finances because we also think it’s important.
What length 2x4s did you use for the a frames? Thanks!
It’s a 10x12 and the sidewalls are 12ft
Love it 😊😊

Классный ролик и проект интересный! Строили всей семьей, только вот сам домик получился явно для двоих😊
Thanks for watching! Yes it’s a summer rental for only two people maximum.
@@TheDoerDuo Ну да, ребенка к бабушке и наслаждаться выходными😉
@@sergeykott1446 it’s an Airbnb
Great teamwork..... everybody played their part.... even the little guy was painting..
Thank you and thanks for watching! It was a really fun family project 😊
This is like a queen size OYO bedroom where couple go for a quicky and then get out ..
The people who rent it may use it as they please as long as they take care of it
Looks nice!
Maybe make it another 15 feet longer and add a few items.
But a quality job nonetheless.
Thank you! We keep our cabins small on purpose. We specialize in creating tiny cozy glamping experiences for a max of two people per stay.
Amazing!
Thank you!! 😊
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
What is your angle on the top pitch and bottom . How long were the 2x4 on the side ? I wanna try to build one , yours turned out very nice ! Great job 👏 how long did it take you to build it ?
The top pitch is 25° and the bottom is 65°. The 2x4’s are 12ft and we are just hobby builders. It took us about 6 months only working on the weekends.
@@TheDoerDuo it turned out beautifully! Great job , thanks for answering my questions . Oh wait one more , so how big was your bottom floor / deck plan ?
Thank you! It was a really fun project. The cabin is 10x12. You should definitely go for it, good luck!
The deck was added on after which was 4x10
@@TheDoerDuo I’m gonna build something before winter , I love the A frame concept. It’s either that or a log cabin . Yours looks easier to build .
I've come to realize that basically every construction channel uses the term "timelapse" wrong. And while I don't care and it doesn't matter it has made me realize something: A house building timelapse would be REALLY cool.
We most definitely said “with timelapse” not “full timelapse”.
@@TheDoerDuo Oh that's fine. Like I said it doesn't actual bother me or matter! I just thought a legit timelapse video of a house getting built would look really cool, haha. Good build either way. :)
Edit: Just to be clear, my point is im not trying to attack you guys, or the people who make these kinds of videos in general, I love these videos. Just that a "full timelapse" as you said, would be super dope to watch, haha. Edit because I just want to make sure you know it wasn't an insult.
Love the cabin, does anyone know the measurments of the footprint and height? I'd like to build something a similar size. Didn't see any measurments in the comments
Thank you! It’s an 10x12 A-frame with a height of 12ft.
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
Super , me encantó!!!
