it's a cabin in the woods, a frame style, why the harsh comments. I could see doing this on a 10'w x 12' or 14' deep with insulation and a wood stove for heat and water warming, shower at the YMCA.
It would be really nice to implement a traditional Japanese style living space into this with tatami and a fold-up shikibuton for bedding. A desk could be built into one side to create a fully functional house. The beds take up way too much area in this design, but the structure itself is cozy and very nicely done.
that's a pain in the butt to air out and store. I am using a 6" high-density foam mattress now for 6 months, and while I don't completely regret it, I still have to let it air out on its side for a few hours and roll up the bedding - after airing that out separately on two heavy duty hooks over the door. If I had my own place, a foam mattress with a murphy bed would be easier - still allowing it to air out, though, before putting it away. The cotton of Japanese futon mattresses is nontoxic and environmentally-friendly, but won't last nearly as long as foam. Foam can last decades and can be replaced separately or even laundered.
This is genius. Plenty of storage and access under the beds. Thinking could use as a greenhouse or a playhouse I would only add curtains at the crossover members that would be stored wrapped around the outer uprights and I think I would put that outer bed on locking wheels and create a rotating lip to bring that bed outside as a bench when entertaining but I suppose it could be lifted and set out just as well. Absolutely brilliant ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing 🤗
It says getaway cabin not house. What part of 'getaway'as in 'weekend getaway' do some commentors not understand? Nice design and could even be adapted as a greenhouse. Orchids rock the Casbah!
because an A-frame's side(s) are so step, for solar panels and passive heating, would a saltbox with a sliding glass door and the rest with solar panels be the best way for energy? NEVER build on the ground if the structure is light-weight enough to avoid that. Moisture and bugs attack your house close to the ground. I've seen quite a few old tiny buildings built a century or more ago that are built 2.5 to 3' off the ground and have tin roofs. If they'd been built close to the ground or if they had shrubbery close to the walls outside, moisture and bugs would've destroyed the wood.
The regular plan does not call for this rope rig- they added it, but a rope would work fine as you mentioned. The original plans have legs that fold down an lock into place (the deck).
@@supersolarpower4191 build the wing wall into a permanent wall and put a frame up half a meter so the roof is higher. 4 of them together in an octogon shape. One side of wing wall in the middle to combine into one room. Just scale up the plans for a bigger cabin
I got my $600 stimulus and I need a place to live! 2 years in my car means I'm not picky! I get $820/month to pay it off but I have to move fast to apply $1k to a move and a down payment!
The original plans have a price breakdown for what it would cost to build for most... They did it for less because they had materials on hand and made changes to the plans to work with the materials they had instead of having to buy it all... But that's unique to them and it's not like you can easily line itemize everything when you're improvising and not everything you're using has a set price.
How do you call this a house? It doesn't have a kitchen (sink, stove), a bathroom (shower, toilet), insulation, or heating! Call it what it is, maybe a shed?
saxonsoldier67 why are they so many negative comments I love the cabin I may get the plans make it 3 times larger insulate it and live in it. I just got some land in Mississippi and we don't get snow and it don't really get to cold
Porkchop's Papi , an elevated structure has a better thermal capacity in a cold climate and would normally be elevated higher than snow or potential water levels.
Plans mention ideas for a bathroom.... also, many have been built with a heat source, it has storage, and a food prep area. Also, I refer to it as a CABIN.... but it could be lived in if you had to, were a minimalist.....
@@derekdiedricksen9170 more like sub-minimalist, not very useful, an example of the least. Review and create ones own "better" version. Otherwise, skip it.
I completely disagree with you- especially as quite a few of these have been built, insulated, and outfitted with amenities (stepping onward from the "basic shell" idea/plans), but to each their own- definitely not for everyone, or for most. Happy new year too. @@LeslieIsgrigg
This is an awesome addition to a property. Also, a great minimalist weekend getaway option. Most of my weekends are spent in a Tent, so this is a definite step up! The outhouse extension makes it practical/comfortable for longer stays. In response to the comment below stating that "this is not a house". It was not intended to be a "Home", the title clearly states it as a "getaway". If you are looking to buy a "Home" for $700.00 you are in a lot more of a bind, than requiring a kitchen or insulation. Great job THL on the design and kudos to Deek for making it happen @ a $700.00 price point. (The future is bright :)
I still don’t understand why none of these tiny homes have curtains. Even the tiny homes that have people living in them. I would want some privacy while I’m getting dressed and un dressed. Lol
The plans are for the basic shell- all those things, much like many other structures, could be added on your own if you wanted them (or not). Anyway, thanks for checking it out! Happy new year.
Turning a 14x30 or 40 foot pre-built shed into a cabin is one thing but you can't live in something as small as the building in this video but it would make a nice addition
i'm gonna build this in my backyard to get away from my brothers lol
Here next to the HOH rainforest where I live. The water running done the outside wall/window thing would be super cool to watch.
lol when he turned that ceiling fan on I had a final destination flashback! that could have easily been the end of the camera mans life lmao
I think it was a camera girl
That fan would not kill anybody, you could stick your finger in it with no problems, lmao
That would make a nice room for a bath/ storage area hooked up to a larger A-frame home that has,an actual kitchen and wood stove.
Really nice... great job!
Or great quick build to live in while building bigger at later date...
Nice, it's basically a wooden tent. But being wood, I say make it at least twice as long then.

Saw the quick note about a bathroom. Would have liked to have seen that. What about heating?
2 feet wider, 4 feet longer, and a 6x8 bathroom added onto far end makes it a nice setup...
The idea is really nice. It's just way to small make it x3 as big for $2000 and your almost perfect
You could make four of these and make a square. Then you'll have a courtyard.
I've been waiting awhile to see this place LOVE IT

You're really going to trust that rope? I suggest you secure that with pins/latches of some sort after raising it.
Not a sailor I take it. Marine line is much stronger and long lasting than household chain or the scrap lumber this thing is made from.
The regular plan does not call for this rope rig- they added it, but a rope would work fine as you mentioned. The original plans have legs that fold down an lock into place (the deck).
Brilliant. I'm going to build 4 of them!!!!!!! To combine into one off grid house!!!!!!!
Wouldn't it be cool if they all opened into each other with that wing wall! :) (Dreamin' here ... haha)

Abe Coulter
How goes the build?
Any video?
Wondering why people don't go with a car 12 V AC fan mounted to blow the heat out?
FRUGAL PRIUS-RV espescially since they have small solar arrays to power 12 v appliances.
i just got the plans to do this cabin. i have to thank you for the vid about yours that got me looking for this kind of project.
Did you get them from RelaxShacks?
@@gage8225 the link for this plan is in the description after A-frame plans sets.
I got my $600 stimulus and I need a place to live! 2 years in my car means I'm not picky! I get $820/month to pay it off but I have to move fast to apply $1k to a move and a down payment!
is this still available? if you don't respond I will take it to mean no. take down the video.
Ot would be nicer if they built the small bathroom.on the outside with a outdoors shower that has some privacy
Crap sorry I missed the event, I want to catch the next one I guess.
Would be cool if that couch folded out over the deck to lay under the stars.
He mentioned that in the video when he was raising that side up over the deck to form an awning...
amazing tiny house and price too
i wish there was more detail on finances even if it over $700 i is still cool just wish they would show that more of the honest amount

But that's unique to them and it's not like you can easily line itemize everything when you're improvising and not everything you're using has a set price.
$1200 with all new materials, but they reused, had some existing stuff, and found some other stuff....
I love a frames home but I like something a little bigger.
I would love to have one but I'd burn up in the wicked hot Dallas TX sun. It's like being in the Sahara Desert, except with 80% humidity.
Hey I live in the Dallas metroplex
I really want 1 some thing small simple and off grid
This is my dream home!!!!
how did you guys avoid or make this happen with zoning laws and residential building laws?
Whats that ceiling fan model?
Just like a tent, but more permanent. Nice.
I like it. It looks very cool.
Screaming! Building ours this year!
How do you call this a house? It doesn't have a kitchen (sink, stove), a bathroom (shower, toilet), insulation, or heating! Call it what it is, maybe a shed?
It's an off-grid summer cabin.
saxonsoldier67 why are they so many negative comments I love the cabin I may get the plans make it 3 times larger insulate it and live in it. I just got some land in Mississippi and we don't get snow and it don't really get to cold
If you want larger, why not go for different plans with creature comforts? This cabin is good for what it is, beats a tent.
saxonsoldier67 I love the design
saxonsoldier67 I may set my budget at about 5k
Saw the same one, lady in California, said that the actual price for hers was $10k. Literally the same shack LOL
Ide trade my town house in the city for this in a heart beat. 👌
Really beautiful, love it, would be my dream A frame cottage, great video, Thanks.
What type of plastic clear did you use for solar awning?
It's polycarbonate plastic roofing panel.
How does elevating it on a deck, keep the snow from crushing it?
Porkchop's Papi , an elevated structure has a better thermal capacity in a cold climate and would normally be elevated higher than snow or potential water levels.
Like the header I would screen that in containing the up wall ideal for Louisiana and our billions of bugs.
Mosquito net fabric attached/snapped to the three sides of the wing before lifting. A door slit. Ta da.
The plans mention it, and the original one we built has screening. @@STho205
Won't this be easily raided in the woods when no ones near?
where can I find the design for this structure???
I totally live in the same town where this tiny house is built lmao
Good job!!!! I would like to be there also to live.
let's say i buy one but then I would have 0 money left .... how long would i survive in there ??
Easy to add on.
wow looks like a giant tent 😍👌
I believe that is more of the concept than an actual 4 season house like the above commenters are freaking out about
Kelli ah thank u for the information
No calefaction? Must be really cold...
This is not a house. It's two beds and a shelf.
My shed is bigger than that
The Bunker It works for camping! Better than lying on the ground!

Build a couple of them over time like different rooms of a house
We're do you Buy One!???!?!?!!!
thanks sharing nice little set up
Not kidding, this could house only three people, me, myself and I.
Well no loft kinda ruins it having beds below takes up c vailuable room like most of it. Shoulda stuck to the plans...
Who wants a 3rd wheel in such an idyllic setting?
Grow lots of magic plants out there

We're do you buy one of these!???!?!
My Dad has a place in Darby that, I’d love to see that on.
This is awesome!!
Nice design and well presented 👍
cool project. cool vid. do you know the guys from apocalypse auto?
It's nice to try something different.
very cute! i wish i was a builder! I still need to make that yurt video for you! lol
where can I find the desgns
Don't know about the price, but the design is great.
soooo late fall through early spring. ?
A tent with hard sides.
No bathroom?? Yikes. Meet a grizzly bear while your taking a dump.
Ya it's not a fucking house you pussy. Go take ur piss outside. You know like humans have been doing for thousands of years.
@@zmohan69 lol well said

not discussed are water supply or heating or sanitation. Its basically a tent.

Love it but cant do winter man got be in the tropical art of the world
How bear proof is that thing?
You could have a nice big tent ,wtf ?
or a yurt.
Is it Bear proof?
Deck should be a step down from the hut...but yall do what the fk yall wanna do.
It's just Missoula, the rest of Montanas arent drunks! 😅
I need to move to Montana. It's beautiful...
Where is the kitchen and bathroom?
Bathroom is the tree and kitchen is the campfire.
I like it, nice place to get away!
Love ❤❤❤❤❤, fist bumps 👊👊👊👊👊, high fives/pats on the back ✋✋✋✋✋
Before I clicked on, I thought the roof was made with solar panels instead of windows. That has cost savings.
Turning a 14x30 or 40 foot pre-built shed into a cabin is one thing but you can't live in something as small as the building in this video but it would make a nice addition
quacksackerthegreat Starfire a life worth living happens outdoors for some.
Wrong sun angle bro
So... basically, a really expensive, permanent tent, tarp or shelter.
Cool looking!
So cute!
Don't pay mind to the cucks making negative comments. Look great man, all the commodities people are mentioning can be done easily. I like it
Sure you did !!
Pretty cool.
awesome job..well done :)
Just found your channel
....SOOO COOOOOL...GREAT IDEAS....LESS IS MORE....THE SAME FOR FOUR? :))))
yeah, who needs indoor plumbing, electricity, or a job?
this house would be perfect for hunting
Wow hard tent
1:04 what song please sir
Love it!!
I like it!
Secret sauce
Not really 'off grid' if you plan on charging cellphones. Nice otherwise.
