How to build a Reciprocal Frame Roof - with Tony Wrench: Living in the Future (Ecovillages) 43

[@skittlemenow]

Just a few minutes in and already 10 times better than any other natural build vid I've seen. Giving actual math and useful terms and showing how to determine all aspects of the roof. Very nice breakdown in a genre that tends to give spiritual advice on structural issues.

Excelente video.. gracias por enseñar a sacar calculos.. emocionante cuando sacan a charly!!

[@LivingintheFuture]

si. el momento del Charly es una cosa 🙂

Awesome idea now I know exactly what I am building

Good Luck!

He is my grandad and he is still building roundhouses today!

[@seansmart2756]

I'd love to build a roundhouse in Scotland but I don't know where to begin to look in to laws etc for a small piece of land to build on where I could live. Kudos to your Grandad. What an awesome life!

[@LivingintheFuture]

Your grandad is a very cool guy, Lucy :)

[@lucyisboringbutohwell8006]

@@LivingintheFuture Aww thanks that really means a lot because some people thought I was like the wierdest person ever having a grandad who had a compost loo and living completely eco but it is always better being eco I think!👍

In the early 70's we were building yurts with reciprocal roofs. Back then it was an old technology.

[@stephanedolaislefort1790]

Amazing! What I like the most, is the love that tight people together. Great feeling to watch this achievement. Thank you guys for sharing. It's a family feeling. Love you all 💞. A friend from France. Stephane Dolais Lefort.

[@Suburbanstoneage]

This is awesome! The pattern of the roof poles reminds me of the same way Native American tipi poles lie when they are pitched. Thank you for sharing this inspirational building technique, it is definitely giving me ideas!

[@williamshearon4309]

Never mind that Native American and Asians where doing this a hell of a lot longer than 20 years ago.

[@philhewett1601]

Well done. I was aquainted with reciprocal roofs some 5 years ago when a friend used a modified form in a yurt. They are visually fascinating.

[@carlosetkin817]

Bravo Tony, y love you!

[@kristakaufman-y6j]

WE BUILD THE TOP HALF STAR ON TOP FIRST THEN SIDES DOWN A FRAME PART AND THEN THE LOWER SIDES OF THE PENTAGON SHAPES AFTER TO RAISE IT UP BUT BUILD THE TOP GET IT TOGETHER AND HAVE ABOUT 6 LIFT AND ELEVATE AND BUILD UP LIKE WE DO WHEN WE PUT UP TENTS !

[@ashilleong]

I like these instructional videos

[@ManyskunksKimCurtis]

I think the original reciprocal frame roof was the American Indian Tipi! It is don't much the same way and the have been doing to for thousands of years! All the poles fit in a certain way and thenare wrapped with a rope! Ingenious!

[@TheDevonblacksmith]

I shall have to build one one day. Presently still growing the timbers

[@erick_papi]

Uh yeyeyyee another question: What treatment do you give to the woods so they remain OK without plagues? I mean, some people at the beach uses burned car oil... but, I reckon there might be other thing that makes it last longer, with a more nature-loving approach... what could that be?

[@LivingintheFuture]

Hi Erick. This film was made with a group from Shift Network Bristol as part of an educational programme. You might try directing specific questions to Tony Wrench at thatroundhouse.info. He's written very infomative books too. Have a read! thatroundhouse.info/

Hola!! Soy de Argentina mi nombre es gustavo estoy haciendo un reciproco y tu video me facilito muchisimo mis dudas. Me gustaria saber si es necesario que la cupula central sea de una medida especial con respecto a la superficie total del octogono??

[@stephanedolaislefort1790]

I love it. Thank you for sharing.

[@thomaisdefois]

Lovely !!! Be well and keep up your beautiful work :)

[@TNGun]

great explanation on how to measure the charlie and the 24 cm to get a 1 meter opening, but how did you come to the 60cm for the first measurement on the rafter?

[@barbarian0005mr]

I think, that was just the distance from the tip of the log to where it rest on the one under it. Happened to be 60 cm. At least that's what I think.

[@barbarian0005mr]

Good video but, how do you figure out what angle the first pole goes on the Charlie?

[@rayed51]

Thanks Tony such a good instructional video. I'm making a pallet yurt at the mo and its going to be on a platform. Small 2.8m yurt. When the yurt is built, two poles will slide underneath between the bearers and 4 strong people should be able to lift it and plonk it on a trailer for moving, failing that pulled up onto a trailer on the bearers as skids. I wanted to build a reciprocal roof and you showed me how. My walls will be pallets. It will be 8 walls, 1 of those a door and 1 a window. Geez on second thoughts it's going to have to be 4 very strong people or 8 would do it easy or a tractor with a couple of strops. No problems only solutions. I'll tell you how goes. One question, when the poles at the top protrude do you just flatten them with a nice sharp saw or chain saw then a plywood ring attached to the ends of the rafters and curved wood on the ring to shed water once the roof is on.

could this type of roof can support a canadian winter??

[@hunterateron3444]

I wonder this also... however i have seen them with Sod roofs and well that Weighs A lot ... so it might... I am building one as a round pen for my horse possibly this summer.

[@LitoGeorge]

I made one out of bamboo sticks stuck together at the peak with hotglue. Only 6 sticks about 7" long. Wasnt a round shape at all, some crazy shape that I dont have a name for. I weighed it on an accurate scale - 5grams worth. I then started to test weight on it - and I got up to 1.181kg's and none of the sticks broke but they sure were bending. Thats a ratio of 1: 236 and it could take more. Whilst it obviously sagged down, they didnt separate nor touch the flat table surface beneath them. I think if thats any indication, its without question this can support a good solid Canadian winter. I lived in NS and we got all time record snows 3 years back, and had a barn and house to look after during it. I've seen them support living roofs and thats a PILE of weight on it, with no ill effects.

Por otra parte les cuento que mi diametro es de 13.5 mtrs. Osea un radio de 6.75 mtrs. La pregunta seria....de cuanto tiene que medir mi ojo central??? 1.30mt.??? Y la distancia entre viga si tengo 16 seria de 0.25 cm???

23 people to build a roof!!!!!!

[@fartunique]

This is a lesson with students on how to build a roof, doesn't actually take 23 people to construct one.

[@yogibear3161]

Reciprocal roof frames are self-supporting structures that date back to the 12th Century. They are used in Chinese and Japanese architecture, as well as being something that Leonardo Da Vinci explored in detail. You don't half talk bullshit, we have had these almost a 1000 years, 20 years my ass!!

Soooo amazing! But, like 30 people building 1 home... who is going to live there at the end?? or is it a community centnnntah? Or they replicate it 15 time so each couple will learn to do it and help the others build their own?? or is the only unique owner paying a huge load of workers for making his home?? are they paid with actual money or only with "knowledge"?? Ufffff,,,, yeh, sorry for skipping the hippie part of the sustainability but it also adds interest.

First thing, do not call them eco villages fools. You cutting at least 40 trees for building a house, that's just fucking opposite. At least you should double of them to be eco friendly. Try mud houses they are more Eco friendly. Change this thing
