We have some amazing things coming this year, including DIY videos on making enclosures.
For the roof trusses, did you use 2x4s or??? Do you have plans or anything drawn up on how to build this ans supplies used or needed. Also im wondering if you could use the middle board spliced with another one for the trusses??? Are you putting in a door and finishing the roof? What material are you going to use on the roof??
If you watch the entire video at the end the roof is done and the front door is built and on. For the trusses, they are just 2x4s spaced at 16-in on center. I do not have any plans or I did not draw anything up on this. I had a bunch of pallets so I just started building and this is what it turned out to be. The materials on the roof is 3/4 in OSB, with Owens corning shingles. On the inside I insulated the entire inside with 2-In insulation foam. Then added 1/2-in OSB and screwed to the pallet wall. On the outside I ended up just doing a wrap. Until I get siding for it. I then added propane heat on the wall on the inside.
Right on! I really like it. I'm thinking about doing something similar but I have only pallets to work with. I am loosing the ability to use my legs sold my house 4 years ago and basically have been homeless. So I need something that I can store my things in that will be safe from thieves. Unfortunately in my area their is alot of petty theft. But since I don't have an income I started looking into building with pallets. Thank you for all your time and the priceless information. When I'm done building I'll try to show a picture....it may take me all summer but it will be worth it. Thank you again!
