Metal Building Construction for an Affordable Home

This metal building would allow you to create an affordable home in Antelope Acres - Salt Flat, TX. You will have to insulate and create your interior walls to divide the interior structure to your liking.
You could create a home for around $10,000 dollars.

Hi

[@SaintTrinianz]

The guy walking up a roof truss with a cross bar is amazing!

[@georgestreicher252]

It may not be cheap, but the best home construction material I've seen on the internet is steel structural insulation panels. Very well insulated, as strong as heck, and will not burn.

Rockin! Thank you! This is good!

[@spadetech4087]

[@chile2be991]

I've been thinking box doing the same thing. Seems that a couple people can put the metal building up. Then just have to finish as time/money allows. Keep the videos coming.

[@jamesrodriquez2863]

I've tossed around the idea of framing out a house using square tubing, but the way this one was done will guarantee problems in the future. Do what you want, but don't make the mistake of following this guy's example.

[@hiskiamartin805]

Thank You, enjoyed the demonstration, please if I want to keep it more cool, what other materials inside the wall. For example if I want to make a smooth finish by adding gypsum board as interior surface, should I follow the same spacing of the steel frame as the width of the board or should the board have 3 screw points of 1200mm divided into 20mm:60mm:1980mm, how will you do it??

That's not necessarily true anymore. A growing percentage of our population is beginning to see the value in a well built small home.

[@thomasmurray4717]

I’m very interested, but I would like to see it insulated for R value and sound proofing. This definitely fills a void in the low cost housing market. Thanks

how were you able to find zoning for such building?

[@noahbody2514]

@@art-tb3um some rural county's have relaxed zoning laws,, you just have to look,, it may mean having to commute a little to the things you want,, but to us it it worth it 👋

When talking one of this type of bldg. down and erecting again is it recommended to use bigger fasteners of what originally used to erect the first time?

[@vidas5324]

What blade did you use to cut the seeths ?

[@hldye7442]

metal can be good thing but a pain in the rear end to insulate, Condensation is the Killer, vaper barrier, adding metal or wood studs so that you actually have something to secure the interior wall material to, like T&G 1x6 wood or 1/2 inch sheetrock etc... Metal framing thickness and your basic 3& 1/2 inch fiberglass insulation or Styrofoam ? will you need to add a firing strip to make the build out? Running wires ? or will you have to surface mount electric and plumbing ? I find that when I write up an estimate for this kind of structure and finishing out vs the choice of metal stud framing or wood framing and finishing out the price always comes up very much higher, so it is usually wood 2x4 or 2x6 framing and them metal a slite bit more in expense. As far as the metal carport/garage structure for that type of use ( unheated or cooled ) they cant be beat, they are quick to assemble and are very long lasting, and a good investment for a Garage.

[@rosswmccallister4866]

what is the name of the company that sold you that DIY steel house kit?

[@younessbayi6639]

Good job ! 👏 I loved American homes,It is wonderful to build with solid materials and can be disassembled like iron too I like living that homes 😄 but it's difficult her in Morocco Because the atmosphere here is very hot🤔

[@iancormie9916]

put insulation in your buildings - Cellulose, Mineral Wool or Fiberglass. each 25 mm of these products will reduce the amound of heat your building absorbs by a factor of 4 or 5 - ultimately a lot less AC needed than a brick building Recommended 2 layers of 15 mm with overlapping Joints where applicable. - also make sure your roof is white.

I live in overpriced Austin Texas where the average price of a new home is around $300,000. I wouldn't be surprised to see the crooked politicians make this kind of home illegal.

[@SandcastleDreams]

They allow Barndominiums, which is basically what this is.

[@SandcastleDreams]

The area they are building in Antelope Acres - Salt Flat, TX is UNrestricted! IF they allow mobile homes, they will more than likely allow this. But personally, I would have bought one with vertical siding and boxed eaves. That would put the ridges up and down on the sides and the roof panels would look more like a normal steel roof. HOWEVER, since TX isn't has humid as FL, they probably don't have the same problem with algae and mold that we have here in FL. We have to pressure wash ours. It gets rather icky.

[@chevecrazy454ss]

Thats cheap here in Northern California average home is $500-600k+ but yes America has been set up to suck you out of all your hard earned money one way or another unfortunately

[@12vLife]

What's the wind rating on this structure? Would any county in Florida let you build a residential house like this without plywood or drywall? ... just metal skin over 2x4s framing , 2" Styrofoam insulation and MDF paneling on the inside?

[@SandcastleDreams]

Aesthetically...you'd probably have to get vertical panels and boxed eaves to pass the zoning idiots. PLUS some neighborhoods require a minimum square footage. I've seen some Barndominiums for sale in FL. They look nice. Worst issue is that some counties require that you deal with THEIR approved contractors! Find some property approved for Mobile Homes or with no restrictions and you should be able to do it.

[@SandcastleDreams]

Oh, and you want 2-1/4" tubular steel for 150mi. an hour winds.
