I always appreciate when people do their own projects. You learn little if you don't try. I also know that this is à old post so my comment is more for people who happen across this video than the OP. With all that said, there are so many things wrong with the construction of this A-frame that could have been avoided with an hour or two of research online. A-frames, although not the most practical structure, can be virtually bullet proof of built right. It is effectively the vaulted portion of a roof with far fewer issues than in typical construction. No walls to bow out, flattening the peak and wreaking havoc to the roofing material. No ice damming in cold climates and now water/iron/acid staining down walls. A few recommendations: 1. Use standard beam and joist support structure or, with slightly larger lumber, a simple framed floor. Joists spaced 16" on centres with plywood or OSB is very robust and if properly braced will have very little bounce and will simplify insulating. 2. The roof should sit on the floor, not on separate concrete bases. The concrete would have been better used under the floor frame. This would leave no gaps around the base. All lumber should be positioned so that the smaller dimension is against the roof sheathing. The A-frames are often placed 2' on centres, depending on expected wind and snow loads. This results in an exceptionally strong structure. 3. Tyvek is best used on walls. There are purpose made membranes for roofs like tar paper that may be better. If you want to use Tyvek, install it horizontally like roofing membrane, with proper overlap. 4. All rows of shingles must go to the edge of the roof with a slight overhang otherwise wind can easily push water up between layers of shingles. If there is a sliver of a tab at the end, determine if the center of the roof should have a tab, or a gap. Always position two rows at the beginning to make sure everything lines up, then remove the top layer and nail the first row. Chalk lines help to keep everything straight. 5. Consider safety before using homemade harnesses and wearing flats instead of wearing boots or at least full shoes. Good luck on your future projects.

All I can remember is that we built it to the fit the sheets of ply so that we didn't have to cut them up which made life easier and we couldn't go higher than 3 meters due to our planning laws. I would Definitely go higher with the pitch of the roof if we could do it again. Best of luck with your project! Vicki

The A frame was developed for sky lodges the steep pitch is there to help shed snow in order to decrease snow load. you can also see this in most Scandinavian architecture such as Stave church a Norse church. The grate thing about it tough is its very strong but you are trading for living space. also the shallower the angle the weaker it gets, but with something this small it probably doesn't mater.

Wood either treated or not below grade isn't a good idea. The shingles are to tight on the skylight to allow water to flow out and if the shingle won't reach the end of the roof. You're supposed to cut a tab off of the next to last shingle so you end up with a tab and a half instead of a little piece. Not to mention that she just went over the bare spot with the upper shingle. lol The only thing that might save the roof is the pitch, if the rafters don't rot.....

@Johnny AppleStead what I said was scientifically correct, unless you believe in alternative physics it's not a thermal insulation.

@Johnny AppleStead that's not proof, that's someone's opinion who has no qualifications in the subject. This is proof www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/stay-away-from-foil-faced-bubble-wrap. Please don't reply because you obviously get abusive if you find out your wrong.

Sorry guys, I really didn't mean for this video to cause negativity. We are told in the uk that this is insulation so rightly or wrongly I believed them!

@@snowflakemelter1172 The product does have a foil exterior that reflects heat and between the foil layers is the slightest padding. I'm not sure of the exact thermal properties, but certainly there is some value, however small, due to the trapped air space. Additionally, by putting it in place you create a trapped air space that also has some small insulation value. Total effect, some small insulation value that is installed in minutes and cheap.

@@BryanMPhx I agree, there is some small insulation value, but my only point is that you should not expect you have really insulated your building just by stapling this stuff up, you have minimally insulted it.

When incredible creativity meets a stunning misunderstanding of building codes or best practices. That structure is missing half it's framing timber. 1 meter on center...Is Not a Thing.... but it 'looks' beautiful.

@@TractorsandCream my apologies if my comment came off as Snarky...(in hindsight it was Snarky)... I'm a carpenter. A good one who constantly must defend the trade against So called carpenters selling good people,bad workmanship. I overbuild... Always. Snow loads will not be kind to all the hard work and money spent. Repairs will be triple the cost of building it sufficiently in the first place. That being said....All the best practices are for not, without the obvious creativity you possess in abundance.

Kudos to you for tackling the little project yourselves. It's easy to overthink things like this. As long as it doesn't leak, doesn't fall down, and serves its purpose, then well done.

The foundation in floor system that supports the completed structure is the most important. I've never seen a floor system put together this way and this one will surely fail in the months to come.
