How to Frame a Backyard Studio or Tiny Home in under 5 minutes using Steel Framing

[@Volstrukt]

Could you frame your own home with this framing system?

Price of wood is skyrocketing

[@gpa4016]

yes ... My wife and I had a company build the structural interior of a 1400 sq house..they added roof, sidewalls .. ... Metal package kit approx $30,000. My wife and I built up the interior walls... it's super strong.

I'm a steel stud / drywall estimator and I haven't seen steel studs used like this before. It's pretty neat!

[@Volstrukt]

Thanks Mark!

Anybody wondering how strong or flimsy that structure is, pay attention at the very end, there's a guy dangling from the loft panel AND IT DOESN'T GIVE DOWN AT ALL!! That little moment really adds a lot to the value of the product and the video. Shows me things I wouldn't trust a seller to tell me. Kudos! This technology will be in my future.

Great video showing how this system allows people to frame their own shed/house/garage. Thanks for posting.

This is world changing.

1 house in 5 minutes :O, nice work!

That's awesome. Can you do a geodesic sphere?

[@justininabinette6752]

Great job guys! I totally appreciate the process you demonstrate here.

[@Volstrukt]

Thanks Justin!

An extremely beneficial framing for trailer mounted structures like a Travel Cabin or a Tiny House! If I'm not mistaken this is the company that made the frame for Bryce, the New Zealand based You Tube Channel Owner of 'Living Big in a Tiny House' whom features tiny houses from around the world! If I am mistaken, then this is a virtually identical fabrication and construction product and company! I would have absolute confidence in a structural frame fabricated and constructed by this company as they work to very high standards.

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Felix, sounds like you do your research! :)

[@pmarzoccojr]

VERY NICE!!!

[@jesuslovesyou5330]

Outstanding

[@comaktinyhomes]

Nice video showing just how fast this system goes together. Whats going on with the gooseneck in the background? Will there be a video on that? Would love to see the construction details of how that gets fixed to the frame of the trailer. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Cody, Thanks for the support! The gooseneck trailer was a build for ICON Build, they 3D print concrete homes. We will try to get more videos out to you soon!

[@TheAlpine49]

Video came up random. Impressive! Really well thought out and made extremely easy for diy homeowners or for professional tradesmen! Where are you located? I'm interested in getting more info. Thanks

Hey David, we produce these frame in Austin, TX

Could you please explain if any of this is structural? What’s the plan for the structural part of the house??

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Gabriel, we use 20ga and 18ga galvanized steel which is structural enough to exceed load requirements for multi-level structures in the majority of the US (subject to spans)

[@miltongiordano]

i wonder if this metal structur can hold a medium size home, 35x35 foot and just 1 store level, dressed with fiber cement sheets, is it sturdy enough?

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Milton, Yes, we can design and produce homes at that size. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks for the support!

[@Rubibi-saltwaterjim]

This building method is used where I live in NW Australia, they are built the way for cyclonic conditions.

[@mv4463]

What I'm very interested in is the garage frame to the right on this video..with the orange water barrels on top & car inside... do you have a video of that. And what the size and dimensions,and cost of it? Exactly what I need.

[@jaysonreese]

Hi, that is a custom mezzanine that we produced for a two-car garage that wasn't used. Unfortunately, we don't have a video of that but feel free to email us at [e-mail] and we can get you some ballpark pricing on the size you need. Thank you!

[@mv4463]

@@jaysonreese thanks so much.. I will be doing this very soon..

[@ryanward4572]

How do you make the dimples for recessed fasteners?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Ryan, All of our steel framing is machine manufactured. The machine pre-punches all of the services holes, bolt holes, screen holes, dimples, squeezes studs that pass through others, and more.

[@peterxyz3541]

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@Idnistrike]

How do you fit C profile into U profile? Does one have to be slightly bigger to go through or you force it through?

[@Volstrukt]

Our designs and technology have the ability to slightly squeeze the load-bearing (usually vertical) studs that go through horizontal nogging or go into the bottom track, and it removes the lip from the bottom track where the studs connect. This makes for a clean, flush connection and allows all panels to be produced in the same profile.

[@justmyopinion5234]

What gauge is the studs and loft floor joist?

[@Volstrukt]

We primarily use 20ga and 18ga Grade 50 galvanized steel depending on the span.

[@justmyopinion5234]

​@@Volstrukt Is the roof snow load rated

[@Volstrukt]

@@justmyopinion5234 We produce our frame kits in various gauges to exceed local load requirements. We've worked on projects with snow loads exceeding 175 lbs/sqft where more standard projects are 35 - 45 lbs/sqft.

[@ryanomoso7173]

What is the thickness of the studs?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Ryan, We produce studs using 22ga - 18ga material in a 3.5" or 6" channel depending on the load requirements.

[@NoteFromSELF]

6 inches at the base, but can vary. Are you a size queen?

[@JoeyRam.]

The designs are already stablished or I can sent a design of small plan I have and get a quote?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Joey, We have stock model designs or we can design and produce a custom tiny house kit for you. Feel free to email over your drawings and we'll provide you with a ballpark estimate. Thanks!

[@xxlalbatross3287]

Do you have 3D model for this one ?

[@Volstrukt]

Yes, this was a frame designed for FEMA. Feel free to email us ([e-mail]) and we can send a private link.

[@lengthmuldoon]

Are the studs 50mm??

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Bertie, We use primarily use 3.5" studs (89mm) or a 6" stud (152mm)

[@vtitorianunes8627]

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

[@cjleongson]

How would i design somethin for 2 storey?

[@Volstrukt]

We have a few two-story frames shown on our website or we can work with you on a custom design. Feel free to email us at [e-mail] and we'd be happy to take a look at your project.

that looks pretty flimsy.... i love the idea of steel structure but seems pretty light weight. what are cons of using this instead of woods?

[@pidu122]

What’s the thickness of the steel studs ?

[@Volstrukt]

We commonly produce 3.5", 3-5/8", or 6" studs in 20ga or 18ga galvanized steel.

What are the sizes of stud wall

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Geeth, we use 3.5" and 6" studs.

Can we use 1.5" x2" studs for 2x4 tiny house
