I got land in southern Colorado, decided to do an a frame with renewable power. I already do electrical so this seemed like a fun relatively affordable project to do. Thank you for the video.
I was considering building an a frame cabin. I would definitely be interested in seeing more videos on these.
I am planning on building an a frame house. So YES please do more in depth videos.
Tiny houses are so popular now for multiple reasons. I'm glad to see you addressing this subject.
Thanks
Thank you for sharing the details of the A-frame house with its full structure for everyone to learn.
Very nice. Yes, I would like to see more videos. I am considering building an A-Frame and appreciate your knowledge of the method of construction involved. Thanks for sharing!
Always liked the look of a-frames
I'll be building one of these soon. Look forward to what you design!
Definitely interested in more A-frame builds. I live in Alaska and need to get the concepts down to build one by myself in a remote location that I can't get delivery materials to. I appreciate your passion in making videos such as these.
Sounds good!
Thanks so much for sharing. I would for sure like to see more videos to complete the structure.
Thanks Greg, yes please more🙏
Sounds good.
yup more videos on A frames plz
Very neatly and simply presented.
I could understand all aspects of erection but not as far as roof final covering over day sip panels.
A video to this effect might help and would be very thankful and delighted.
Very cool
Thanks for sharing,...greetings from Germany!
Welcome!!!!
Cool
Plan on buildin an A Frame soon so more details the better! Thank you for this video
You are welcome!
Thanks for featuring the A-Frame design. I would like build one in the future. I would like to see more in detail.
Noted!
thank you. useful lesson
You are welcome!
nice video as always
Thanks again!
Amazing stuff thank you! I live in a country where they build with cement block and concrete, can you do a small easy house build with concrete walls? Maybe piller and block work? Formwork?
I would also like to see more videos designing the A-frame style home.
Great video, would be nice to have a bump out on the kitchen area.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.
You are very welcome
very interested in more
Good evening hope I find you well ...out of interests sack do you have plans with measurements to this particular Aframe
Interested to see how the plumbing vent pipes are placed, would be nice if we can avoid going through the roof, and somehow in the front or back walls.
Can you suggest some ideas there please?
What is the length of the rafters as well as the length of the ridge boards? Thanks, nice video!
Good one
Thanks again.
Where can i buy or download your plans on this a shape house. Cut sizes and so on. I love your work.
These make nice lake houses.
True.
My Grandfather built my 40' A frame 3 stories tall that Ive been living in for over 20 plus years. I would love to see a video on adding to the front of the A frame. Like an enclosed porch / mud room laundry with normal walls. I'm curious what your ideas would be. 🤔 thanks for your amazing helpful video's. 👍
Your grandfather was a legend. Wish he had made a video. Never even seen a 3 story A frame myself.
Would be interested in your take on building an A frame 24 X 32 from foundation up, I think it would be alot easier to roof then conventional stick frame. really enjoy your topics. thanks,,, from the cold north.
I like it and will be making some wider in this series.
No. The roof pitch is crazy steep. Impossible to walk on to build and repair. You need extremely long ladders. Just no.
Would it be cheaper and easier to pour a concrete slab?
It would sacrifice a crawl space, but it's likely a little cheaper and definitely more stable.
Depends on if your land is flat, for one.
A slab on a hill gets expensive fast.
Yes
@@AmericanCrusader777 that’s the whole point of an A frame
@@AmericanCrusader777 u an expert ha stfu
What's the length of the rafters and also whats the hight from floor to peak im really thinking about building one
how does the ceiling ventilation work with this?
Its insulation would be fine if you use nail base. R19-21 in the 2x6 rafters with nailbase for your decking over that to get to the R value you want.
So you don't think that staggering the base beams so that they do not all butt up at the center? Just asking as this seems to be a good practice to stagger when I build my DIY'er stuff ☺👷♀🇨🇦 I continue to look forward to your presentations. So interesting what you chose as topics. Thank you from Atlantic Canada, Prince Edward Island.🇨🇦
I've never staggard crawlspace beams, but would love to see a picture of them and why you did it. Interesting idea.
Würde das auch mit metal gehen?
Also on my 24 x 24 A-frame besides the 4 foot sidewalks made of concrete or concrete blocks. Mine was going to be on a concrete slab with radiant heat system installed in the concrete.
A frame and skillion designs are some of the easiest to build. A frame lacks floor space. Decided to go with a post and beam skillion on block piers and insulated slab. 6/12 pitch because 70 psf snow loads. Bubble wrap under flooring on post style cabins does wonders.
That was a great guide! I wonder how a person is supposed to assemble the tall roof rafters.
I will be providing those details in the video series.
Boom lift and crain
How tall can you typically build an frame in unrestricted land in America? I had seen apparently back in the day the ada bill made it very difficult for single family residences to be more than three floors tall and that’s why we don’t ever see any plans for 4 or 5 story buildings in america.
good
Thanks
Would it make sense to make the collar ties more substantial to have a small loft (for storage for example)?
I've seen it done plenty of times.
I have seen a supposed expert carpenter build one with an add on. Add on was living room roof was lower than a frame so all the heat went right up to upstairs bedroom. Living room always cold had to put monitor heater in living room for heat eventhough he had wood stove in kitchen. If you do an add on make roof same hight.
A stilted A-frame would be cool so the underside becomes a car port
In vermont, no one has gutters and everyone has piles of snow on the ground under the eaves. On an A frame those piles of snow amount to extra insulation.
Size and length of the rafters?
👍
A-frames are great as long as you build a one story box underneath them.
do you sell pdf of drawings with dimensions?
What would be required for adding a loft? Maybe a video about that? Thanks!
Good idea.
Now do a B frame house
2x12 rafters?
I have a question. My plan is to build a 4 foot concrete blocks wall on both sides of my 24 x 24 a frame so that I have better sidewall on the inside. Do you have a plan showing something with side?
A block wall might require more structural reinforcement and I don't have plans.
Also, if you have a plan for an A-frame with 4 foot sidewalks or something similar to that they could be shorter like 2 foot sidewalls. I would gladly pay you for the house plans on an A-frame similar to the one I’m talking about building.
I’ve always thought that an A frame would be more functional on 4 ft walls. I’d start with 6X6 timbers set in concrete 4 feet apart and hang the floor from these timbers at least 3 feet off the ground so each set of opposing timbers could be tied together with an X brace under the floor. 2X6 wall sections between the timbers and manufactured trusses set on top. Should be very solid.
How big would you pour those foundation support piers?
I can't provide engineering information specifically for your project, but think a 1 foot by 1 foot footing 1 foot deep into ground might work.
How about designing an A frame with roof rafters sitting on a 2' or 4' tall knee wall?
IDK, I wonder if the weight of the roof would push them out?
How did you attach the floor to the wood that is on the piers?
You can use footings and post or beam connecting hardware. I've seen pier used for this, but am not a big fan or them for this type of construction.
Might be a dumb question, but, how can you have floor joists 16” on center if they’re overlapping?
By moving joist over or on either side and keeping them on the same side all the way to the end of the floor framing, they will be 16 inches on center.
How would you build a 16' wide by 20' long A-frame off the side of an existing structure that has a 9 12 pitch metal roof? I wanted to go out the back but my wife wants to go out from the left side of our cabin we're building.
I put your suggestion on my list of videos and will contact you for some pictures if I decide to make this model.
@@gregvancom 👍 thanks.
I didn't hear you say, but what are the rafter lengths?
I don't have them in this video, but might in others.
Really interested in seeing how you'd frame a dormer out one side of the roof.
Good idea and it's now on my list.
Español pol favor
I once tried to build an A frame house, but it didnt work out, so I went to plan B. Yes, a B frame house.
Bob sent me.
Awesome.
A basic house with little waste is the way to go. A big fancy house is nice but do most people really need one? Cities like them because they can get more tax money from you and you end up with a smaller yard with everyone staring at you because they have a big house to.
Is this an Ark build?
Dont do this(if you dont sure you want it).
At my "cabin in the wood"(actually i just bought old countryhouse near the forest) 2nd floor made in the such style.
In result room smaller than it could be in normal manner, windows only in two sides(in normal way it could be in 4 sides), and unused space atop of the room(attic).
I mean, from 2 sides your walls - not walls at all, it is roof, so it is leaning and really usable space is reduced.
Moreover, the roof in such way is much larger than it could be(more material).
The ONLY good point in such high roofs -- snow falling from it, so you dont need to clear snow from the roof.
I mean as something you can build fast(and if you need it only as shelter from snow rain, or as sleeping place) it is OK, but this shape is not so comfortable
ational.
A wise man who lived in an A frame once said, “never build an A frame house”.
Says who bro, come on
Try to hang a picture or cabinets or anything, only short vertical gable walls and they have a side slope 😂😂@@maddselite
A frame house is better then no frame house
@@maddseliteno one said that. He just wants attention 😂
I'm here for the comments😂😂😂
Easy to build? I'm sick of trying not to fall off my 10:12 roof. This looks like a 24:12. A frames are a terrible design. Super expensive and hard roof to build and even less square footage and headroom than a normal house for all that work and materials.
Good points.
How does this house hold up to extreme weather?
It's made of wood so I'm guessing not so well.
History has proven wooden houses are awful.
Get a grip and build a real house.
A-frames are awful and not efficient. Build something else.
I would love to learn more about these. I always considered an A frame as one of the more simple builds but I've never looked further into them other than the shape. It is one of the ideas I have for a cabin build in the near future. I've been tossing around ideas such as D logs, chinked log cabin, vertical log cabin, timber framing, pretty much something where I can mill the wood myself, which keeps me limited to a 10 foot lengths. This looks like a large A frame and I've only considered building a small studio apartment size but this makes me think maybe a larger one would be nice.
Cheaper to just buy an out building from home depot. Theyll build it for you too!
How much for this building from Home Depot?????
