Walls and Roof
- quick-and-dirty units fabbed directly from materials from home
depot or lowes. That's what we did at strong angel. Basically we're talking about Tuff R and Super Tuff R.
- same materials but precision cutting of angles for tighter
assembly. that means a table saw. ideally we'd find a local wood shop and have them cut for us because I'm, er, not the guy to be doing that work and keeping my fingers.
- higher spec materials (see Dow Thermax HD) which may need some
wrangling to obtain. Two or three inches thick, better foil facing, generally much more like what you'd use in an American disaster.
- hexacomb cardboard (http://hexacomb.com/) which can be
manufactured on site from flat pack core materials, so the 1"x4'x8' board is made from a core about two inches by six feet by one inch, and a couple of rolls of foil. Hard to explain, see the "Rapid Deployment Concept" page on http://howtolivewiki.com/hexayurt/
- Weyerhauser has a really good waterproofed triplewall cardboard, as
used in the Global Village Shelters. We're trying to source some but having problems, but of all the materials, it's probably the one closest to spec for developing world use if somebody wanted to start making units ASAP.
Tape
- 3M bidirectional filament tape, 6" wide.
- Ideally we need a one stop tape; a duct style waterproof, bidirectional filament tape with a foil face.
