Tiny houses are so popular now for multiple reasons. I'm glad to see you addressing this subject.

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.

I'll be building one of these soon. Look forward to what you design!

Thank you for sharing the details of the A-frame house with its full structure for everyone to learn.

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 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

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.

yup more videos on A frames plz

Thanks so much for sharing. I would for sure like to see more videos to complete the structure.

Thanks Greg, yes please more🙏

What's the length of the rafters and also whats the hight from floor to peak im really thinking about building one

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. 👍

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?

nice video as always

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.🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing,...greetings from Germany!

Great video, would be nice to have a bump out on the kitchen area.

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.

Would it make sense to make the collar ties more substantial to have a small loft (for storage for example)?

A wise man who lived in an A frame once said, “never build an A frame house”.

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?

Cool

What is the length of the rafters as well as the length of the ridge boards? Thanks, nice video!

Would it be cheaper and easier to pour a concrete slab?

That was a great guide! I wonder how a person is supposed to assemble the tall roof rafters.

Good one

These make nice lake houses.

thank you. useful lesson

how does the ceiling ventilation work with this?

Very cool

2x12 rafters?

How big would you pour those foundation support piers?

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.

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.

very interested in more

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.

Würde das auch mit metal gehen?

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.

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.

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.

Size and length of the rafters?

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.

A-frames are great as long as you build a one story box underneath them.

👍

Really interested in seeing how you'd frame a dormer out one side of the roof.

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.

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?

do you sell pdf of drawings with dimensions?

What would be required for adding a loft? Maybe a video about that? Thanks!

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.

How about designing an A frame with roof rafters sitting on a 2' or 4' tall knee wall?

Might be a dumb question, but, how can you have floor joists 16” on center if they’re overlapping?

How did you attach the floor to the wood that is on the piers?

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.

A stilted A-frame would be cool so the underside becomes a car port

I didn't hear you say, but what are the rafter lengths?

Español pol favor

Bob sent me.

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 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.

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.

A-frames are awful and not efficient. Build something else.

Cheaper to just buy an out building from home depot. Theyll build it for you too!
