    Is Topo zone map available in Alaska? Looking at the land there. Why did you pick the size of the Quonset? why not bigger or smaller?

    • @CleverModerns
      @CleverModerns 29 дней назад

      I've never looked at TopoZone for Alaska but I don't know why they wouldn't cover that area. The biggest factor for you in Alaska will be the limitations of snow load there. How did we pick our size? It was just the right amount of building for us. It depends on what your goals are for the project. It's like how big of a car are you going to buy? It's just an individual choice with various factors going into it.

    Have you ever considered using a bubble wrap style insulation? Im concerned that spray foam will deteriorate too quickly and then you’re stuck with it. I am seriously considering using a specific product known as Prodex…curious if anyone here has experience with both types?

    • @CleverModerns
      @CleverModerns 29 дней назад

      Spray foam doesn't really deteriorate when you install it correctly and finish your interior correctly. Prodex has huge potential for condensation and therefore mold. They hype it like it's great for Quonsets but I would never use it.

    You can build the t-hut using a shorter qzhut for the stem of the T and have that hut protrude into the larger qzhut. The shorter hut retains full support end to end and should support the taller qzhut at the point where it rest on the shorter qzhut. There should be no problem with drainage as the ridges and valleys won't meet at the high point of the hut.. the tall hut should drain onto the shorter hut. And when building a t-hut ... build the shorter hut first then build the taller (top of the T) hut around the shorter hut... this is much easier as you can cut the arch pieces before installing.

      In the end we've decided we are never doing them again. I generally do my best to talk my clients out of using them. They add a lot to the cost of your build, and bring a lot of maintenance and potential for leaking with them.

    • @Burntwaffle9699
      @Burntwaffle9699 Месяц назад

      It can be done with a coupling nut and threaded rod. The coupling nut gets attached to the bolt already in place keeping the panels together. Then the threaded rod gets attached to the bottom part of the coupling nut. You make a hole into the wood and slide the rod extension through then affix the wood to the threaded rod with another washer and nut.

    I have to take issue with one thing you said. You said, when mentioning the RAL kit homes that they were not quonset huts because they had a wooden frame. I owned two quonset huts in Morro Bay, Ca in the 90's that were WWII vintage. They had interior steel framing and were clad with standard looking corrugated steel panels that were apparently prebent to the correct radius. The Quonset huts I see in production now are completely different and, as you say self supporting. I feel it is the actual shape that makes it a Quonset hut, because if we go by history, the new self supporting structures are not the same as the originals. I had also considered replacing the steel framing with bent lamination arches of my own fabrication because they were so rusty and wouldn't last much longer. I don't think replacing the steel framing and substituting with wood would have changed them from Quonset huts to some other thing either. I think the RAL kits can legitimately be called Quonset as well.

  • @meghancass3187
    @meghancass3187 8 месяцев назад

    Another problem I see, though this may not be a huge issue in Arizona, is the flat roof of the window box. In Northern California, where I'm considering Quonset hut glazing solutions, there is considerable rainfall and I've learned from experience, a sloped plane simply weathers better and lasts longer than a flat level plane. I do really like the look of your windows however. Thanks for uploading.

    What you do is simple, you build the Groin Vault ceiling first to the required size, then you place the Quonset onto four the open sides of the Groin Vault, and you have a cross shaped Quonset hut, or just three huts and have the front door in the other open side of the groin vault.
