People are always asking me how I moss my cabin roofs. Well, wonder no longer! Here are all my "trade secrets." Spoiler Alert it's pretty easy and you can definitely do it yourself!
Let me know in the comments if you have any other questions and i'll try my best to answer them for you.
Looking forward to seeing more mossy roofs out there!

You should never put the screw in the valley of the corrugated iron, it’s more likely to create a leak in your roof. Only install your screws on the high ridge of the iron.
Nicholas Tan we’ve heard... an interesting topic!
@@Cabinland did you ever have any water issues ?
@@dimitrisl9085 moss is kinda waterproof to a point
@@dimitrisl9085 he probably won’t untill the screws wear out🚫, it’s more likely bc the water travels down the valley. Not really that much worse though unless the roof will be holding water. Their pitches seem like it won’t be that much of a difference if any.
Any tradesman who screwed custom orb of like you did in the valley, isn’t a tradesman. Even over screwing on the ridge can leak.
I’m at a moss for words .. great job
Excellent. We’re gonna need to use that one
Cabinland it’s your to do with what you pls .. 😃
I think it helps that you're a teacher. I feel like I'm in school, but with the fun teacher. Love these videos!
Putting the chicken wire under the screw gasget leaves a small opening for water to leak. Another sealer should be used in conjunction of the gasget.
Dude you would have been the best teacher teacher to get in school for sure!
Keep the tutorials coming man, so well explained & you keep it light..Wish your channel existed when I built an off-grid cabin near Whistler 4 years ago..pretty crazy actually I just finished your 'Art of Visuals' podcast & your cabin building start up summarizations sounded like such a similar journey..Anyways I've been working on a travelling action sports/design studio School Bus Conversion..Last year we hit 5 states & raised money for conservation while skiing, surfing, filming etc.....Maybe this year when we roll through the PNW our team of stand up lads can help ya prop a wall up or hit up a surf!
Cheers homie! Keep it rad

My favorite thing is your drama and dramatic pauses, ("it's just resting" pause...) special effects (green tinge on ur face & the hexagon effect in another video) and humor (wind & rain simulation, etc...). It reminds me of Neil Patrick Harris' delivery ...
Pretty sure I'll never employ the practical knowledge you share but I enjoy these videos regardless. Altho I do love geometry , esp sacred geometry. Your groovy doors and the constellation woodwork at desert cabinland are amazing.
Moss is a Forest sponge - good Choice, especially in the Pacific North West! Looks very cool on the roof when it's finished too 🙂 Excellent job on the tutorial...it's like you used to be a teacher.
Eric Sorensen once a teacher...
I’ve never been so excited for a CZcams notification 🤩😍 BEAUTIFUL!!! You two are killing it, thank you for sharing!!
Emily we’re so happy to hear you say that and to know you’re out there caring!
freaking wicked stuff dude, love how enthusiastically you explain this. I'm now totally inspired to make mossy houses!
How does the roof look like after one year? Did the moss survive? You definitely need the right moss for your conditions (sunny or shadow, moisture, soil, etc)
Lol the passion... in this man is overwhelming... I love it
🙏🏼
I didn't even notice that 9 minutes passed while watching that! So fun.
You guys are the literal best. I’m just blown away at what funny, amazing people you both are! Seriously, I feel lucky to be watching this so early, give it time...y’all are gunna BLOW up. (Not literally, obviously.)
Julie White we feel lucky to have you watch!
I will adhere to your instructions. You're the Moss.
I'm in love with the passion and excitement.
I’ve always loved moss and now you’ve shown me I can love it so moss more! Fern Babies Forever! 💞
You make learning fun.
I try!
Excellent presentation! I have a moss roof on one of my cabins here in the PNW.
Lookin good man! Wish we had those deep dark woods, but KY is mostly just snakes. Can you do a snake roof?

Hey thank you so much for this video! We live in Germany trying to build up a similar project like you did with cabinland but of course here everything is much more complicated with all the building regulations and stuff. Nobody shows you how to build a mossy roof with chicken wire here but now we know and we'll giv it a try ;-)
Hahaha this made me laugh so hard, awesome self explaining personality. Can’t wait for the next thing you think you know, and actually prove to know.
ANAK Creates I think I know how to do things a lot... shouldn’t have to wait too long 😂
@@Cabinland hahaha perfect, I cant wait. Its inspiring me to make a series like that myself... hmm... haha
I have been follow your Instagram since the begging and now I get to see the magic happen 🔥🔥🔥 I LOVE THIS CHANNEL !!!!!!!! Keep up the amazing work :)
So sick! I somehow didnt realize you guys had a youtube, now excuse me while I binge the whole thing :)
LOVE THIS‼️‼️ I will be doing this on my Micro Tinyhouse ‼️❕
Love. This. Tutorial. You. ROCK!
Thanks man ! Looking forward for more !
Another Great Video and nice lesson!
Your mossy cabins look so dope
Nice tutorial! These mossy roofs are stunning.
❤️'d this video...I have moss from the pennsylrainia grand canyon growing on my kitchen window sill 😊
Mike Holmes says that the vapor barrier goes on the warm side of the insulation.... so, like, under the roof insulation. Moss roofing - very interesting!
Beautiful but only one important question...doesn't this moss when it collects water, put a lot of weight on the roof rafters? Could that be a problem? I wanted to do this to my roof. Please answer. Thank you.
It seems like water would slowly find its way under those screws. Interesting
the wind and rain simulation alone was worth a sub
Excellent video
I came straight here to say you need to put your screws in the hills of the corrugated, not the valleys. Unless you want a leaky roof
How have the roofing screws that you used on the chicken wire held up to rain? I'm nervous about how well the gaskets hold when they are on the wire and not the flat surface of the metal roof.
Love this. Thank You
This is awesome
amazing!
Zinc strips on asphalt or cedar shake roofs will keep moss or leichens from growing (it kills it) so how does your zinc plated sheetmetal roof not kill the moss?
Question: I've always always wanted a moss roof on my house. If I wanted to add one on a preexisting house, should I remove prexisting shingles or should it be safe to add a metal-wire-moss top layer?
If someone did this with deer fence since it’s cheaper-do you think it’d work?
I miss you guys come BAAACCCKKKKK 😞
Lovin’ the channel... wish I had a sweet a** cabin like yours lol... keep up the awesome work! Btw where is sara? She should be in all ur videos... 😁
genius!!
wanna know what kind of moss is that?
and is it strong on cold weather?
i wanna use it for my cabin . what a good idea.
Is a moss roof good on a brick tiled roof if it's naturally growing on it or will it damage the tiles??
I heart cabin 💖
Anyone have thoughts on doing this on a dome??
How well does the moss work at shedding snow?
Awesome video! Enjoying you charisma and energy! (But where’s Sara?)
I’m here!
How does the moss roof do under 2' of snow conditions though on a pitched roof
Hahahaha I love these so much
Hexagons are the bestagons
Omg 😆 you are hilarious lol I love y’all
Would snow build up and freeze overnight then pull the moss off when it falls down with weight?
the best
That sense of humor you're so funny and brilliant! Sarah is so lucky and you're lucky having Sarah too. Fave couple 😍 so hot
Aw, Thank you!
How would this work in hotter places? Once dried it's still ok?
@cabinland please, please respond on this one, and maybe what about direct sun on the roof? Thank you very much
Would silicone over the screws help theyre shelf life and leaking
So 😎 cool
you should write a book cabins for dummies
Would this work in snowy areas?
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
you are a Mossaye-Warrior…..🤣🤣😂😂.. see what i did there?!😂😂
Does it get super heavy when its wet?
7:17 It's just resting on it.
(I was waiting because it sounded like a cliffhanger. 😂)
7:37 *NASA Aproved wind simulator*
If Pauly Shore was a home DIY host
this is almost as funny as a Magic Hugs commercial
Such a sassy kween
Moss boss 😂
Great video … but the screwed don’t go on the low part of the correlation……
the secret sauce is the living moss
I had to wait until 6:30 before he explained why he was putting moss on the roof. That should have been in the first 1 minute. Guys have to remember that nobody understands why you're doing something until you tell them or its a common occurrence. Putting moss on a cabin roof isn't a common occurrence.
well the moss isnt put in for the purpose of protecting the roof its there for the look because they build woodland cabins. it just also happens to protect the metal. most of the people on this video are viewers of their channel and are watching because they already want to moss their roof.
great info, dizzy camerawork though, seems drunken
I’m sure this dude sold me molly in the 90’s and then talked me into a no-homo hand massage
That kind of moss.
6:49
Qvc but moss
Regular chicken wire rusts. Expensive chicken wire or hardware cloth is galvanized. Just saying it will fall off your roof in a few years.
don't screw in the lowest point..........the easiest way for water ingress
mearle13 a classic debate!
Something tells me these people come from affluent families and have no real job of their own.
Everyone should just do normal boring job stuff that would be so cool.
@sampedro9316 spoken like a spoiled rich brat.
Way to funny he should make more videos not the chick
I know right... that chick dude... what is he thinking?
Are you serious what a joke don't send them any money
This a scam
I know nothing about building anything so I'm curious why you say he's and idiot and it's a scam? Not asking sarcastically but honestly would like to know
