Building a Viking Turf Roof House: Roof Frame - Bushcraft Project (PART 2)

  • Опубликовано: 3 ноя 2019
  • We continue building the bushcraft viking house. Before we build the turf roof, we needed to build a frame solid enough to be able to take the weight of the turf. For this we used woven hazel sticks or hazel hurdles as they are called. I made a few small log cabin notches on some rafters so that they would sit flush to the ridge pole and support beam. These were then lashed to the timber frame. The hazel hurdles were then put on top and lashed to the frame of the roof. I have one side of the roof going down to the ground, and the other only half way. This is not just for aesthetics, it also allows more room in the shelter for a raised bed or storage area. In the previous episode I cut some logs up with the bushcraft axe and burnt the ends of them to help make them rot-resistant when they are in the ground. At the top of the posts I used a chisel and made some mortise and tenon joints to make the whole structure more secure. The frame still needs some form of purlin support and some wind braces, but the basic frame structure is now complete and ready for the turf roof which we will put on in the next episode!

      Have you thought of putting a thin layer of clay over the hazel and under the soil? It might cut down on dirt sifting down later on.

    Instead of using twine to bind up the timbers; you could, if you access to hides, cut the leather into strips, soak them, then use them as bindings. As they dry they will shrink and become extremely tight.

    I like the looks of the woven hazel branches, would make a nice fence in a garden. With vines growing along it, would be great for privacy. Perhaps adding ivy or other climbing plants to the roof would help when turf is scarce?

    Thanks for Part 2 , Mike. The structure is larger than I thought it would be, which is great. Love the woven roof panels concept. My suggestion pre turfing would be to lay a long branch, the size of your roof supports, on the woven roof side of your bottom stakes. In other words, as you face the structure, to your left BUT on the right side of the stakes that keep the woven roof in place at the bottom (closest to the Saxon house). This would securely hold the bottom turf 'row' in place. On the other side, the same could be done, at the lowest roof end. Just lash that long branch in place. Love the show. Nice to see your Dad again. I can't wait for Part 3!

    Interesting idea. My mind says to put the first layer with clay like you did with the other hazel weave (wall) to prevent the rain water from soaking through the soil. But I am interested in seeing your idea to its conclusion and the final results during a rain. Great video and your dad being there just warms my heart. P., L. & H.

    Mike,
    I strongly suggest that you use a Hazel Hurdle as a Waddle and Daub wall under the short roof side of the house! It would be great as a base for the Daub! Also, I would suggest you make the door on that side as well....even if you have to duck a bit to get inside.
    It is looking really good and I am eager to see the roof material going on. From the looks of it, I don't think the material around that site would make a decent roof material...and I am curious what you do select to make the roof out of. Would be great if you could roll up turf like professionals do so that you could place a roll on top and let it slide down the roof to cover it.
    Keep up the good work...and HI Graeme!!!
