Also pro tip, take a piece of shirt and wrap it around the ladder ends and spray it with flex seal. It won’t scuff the roof and it’ll give you grip so it won’t slide.
Im a professional window cleaner, work on ladders all day and gotta say it scared the shit outta me to see yall standing on the very tops of those extension ladders. Nice work tho 👍👍
Thanks for putting these videos together for all of us interested in a-frames, and Avrame in particular! You're doing a fantastic job. Would love to know how you'd recommend approaching a builder who does traditional construction, and ask them about building something from a structural kit like this... (and if you'd recommend using this in the first place!)
Thanks for the support, means a lot. Most quality builders are a little more old and weathered. There is a lot of labor involved in "swinging" the A-frame trusses into place and then having a man walk the line 35' up to connect and keep everything straight. That being said, any quality builder should have his/her methods to get any home build done efficiently. If they build log cabins, they can most likely get this structural kit in place for you effectively. I recommend using this kit over traditional stick frame, in regards to an A-Frame. Let me know how else I can answer any more questions for you -
Great product, they are becoming very popular within the last year and rightfully so.... Grand County is beautiful! Although the book is getting full, I would be interested to hear more about your project! Thanks for reaching out -
Whoa ! those a- frames are up thar". The rubber "button" comment , "after ten years you have to replace". You feel that this won't happen in your build. How if I May Ask?
None of the fasteners on standing seam roof are exposed so you don’t have to worry about deteriorating from the weather and climate. It’s not the fasteners as much as their rubberized grommet that degrades and is susceptible to water after years of weather abuse
Thats an awesome looking cabin/house. I'm a bit conserned about the possible Windfore on that realy large roof. Do you use the basement? There is a lot of space in there. More than enough for all the technical equipement needed for a omfortable home...
Do you mean wind force? footings and stem walls are engineered for correct seismic loads. Yes, pitch of the roof creates a good amount of space. Thanks for your support and reaching out -
Nice work gentlemen, my dad built our first house by himself and it’s an A frame too. Also, just curious why is the first panel cut like that? Is the roof not square?
Good question, the top of the gable ends at the ridge beam are at 24" outlookers while the bottom of the sub fascia ties back into the house at Zero. So there is a fabrication on the first panel that we had to make sure was square to the rest of the house so the rest of our panels would run true .
About 4 months from digging foundation to putting metal and siding on exterior. Interior Finishes took about another 4-5 months as the owner did it on his own time.
Hey bro I just ran across your channel and first off I want to say Im loving the scenery...I think I heard you say you're in Colorado? Anyways I'm in n.c. not too far from the blue ridge parkway Which is a park protected by the government but not nearly as beautiful as where you are which brings me to my next thing...I'm confused as to how people are allowed to build in areas that are obviously precious/beautiful/scenic as this I mean sure these houses are probably owned by the super rich but shouldn't these areas be protected? Lol yeah I'm really blown away that people are allowed to build houses in sasquatch territory which should be preserved
Thank for reaching out man. Twin Lakes, Colorado is definitely one of the most beautiful outdoor scenes in all of the US. That being said, I think the state Gov has done a pretty good job protecting private lands and creating large portions of protected space. About a mile down the road from this property is National forest which inhibits any developments to take place. I was raised in these mountains and as sensitive as I am to a bunch of flat-landers coming in to build homes, I am 100% supportive of everyone being able to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and call this place their home! Nothing like it!
Great music choices I hear!
No one will ever be on that roof any time soon, good job.

Awesome video. I hope to build an A-frame one day and this video is inspirational.
Thank you !
Oh p.s. dude you're fearless the way you climb around on those steep roofs like they're rock faces lol l hope you make the big bucs
my man.
Looks great man
Thank you !
Thank you for sharing the process! Can you share what was used for HVAC?
Mechanical Duct work for ventilation. Electric Baseboard and Gas Stove for Heating. No AC needed in our climate (Rocky Mountains)
Would love to have someone build me one of these in Pennsylvania

Nice work. Want to build another one in Grand County in a year or so? We've been looking at these for our land.

@@IRONHORSEhomes How do I get in touch with you guys? I tried the email address on the website, but no response. Thanks!

Good afternoon, I'm from Russia, tell me what kind of material are you laying on the roof? if you can give a link. Thanks
I was screwing down multi ribbed on my aframe last year. There was no way I would get within 5 foot of that edge. NO WAY lmao!!!!
Haha yeah it's no fun when you're up there trying to get that fascia metal installed and tied in.
Would you take a project for a 1200sqf A-frame in Cripple Creek? Thank you!
email me ironhorsecoconstruction@gmail.com
@@IRONHORSEhomes will do

How big is the cabin and a total cost to build this type of a A frame?
It’s around 1500 square feet. I don’t share costs online, you can email me at ironhorsecoconstruction@gmail.com
tell you what I wouldn't like to install that roof not a pitch roof like that. it looks pretty high
Greetings from Kyrgyzstan, I am interested in the width and length and height how much can you answer please
30' Width X 40' Length x 30' Height
How long did this take to build?
About 4 months from digging foundation to putting metal and siding on exterior. Interior Finishes took about another 4-5 months as the owner did it on his own time.
How long did it take from sill plates to roof completed? (and roughly how many were you on site?). Looking at building one of these kits.
about 3 months from sill plate to roof completion. It was just myself and the owner who erected all of the structural kit and roof. Thanks
@@IRONHORSEhomes Awesome, thanks!
final costs?
Around 500K
So was the roof and everything included in the price of your A frame? Or are you using a local product?
The roof material was supplied by Avrame but was an additional charge from the structural kit purchased by the owner, if that answers your question?
