- This video documents the process of building a 14' x 20' Arched Cabin. This particular Arched Cabin uses a skid pack for the foundation so it can be moved at a later date if the owner decides to change locations. Each and every Arched Cabin will have a very similar build process so you can see the speed and ease of assembly! Thank you for watching our video, check us out at ArchedCabinsLLC.com for more information!

Your Arched Cavin house is simply great, strong, light-weighted & beautiful... 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Just ordered our 24' X 32' cabin. We are so excited. I will post a video and our local paper will do a story. Thank you for making these so affordable.
I'm thinking about buying one. Are you putting it in a cold or hot climate?
Y'all need more videos showing the build process and the different selections
Joshash brew We are working on more videos now and hope to have some up shortly!
Arched Cabins the pictures on the website are nice....but video is better
Arched Cabins I wish I was local to where you guys are. I'd love to come shoot video and more detailed information. Very interesting project.

Are making a video series from start to finish.

Thanks for posting, I'll be looking into this. Thanks!
How do the ribs connect together? Are they welded together later? What’s the R-Value of that insulation? Does it also act as a moisture barrier as well? Did you add more insulation later? How do you guys connect the frame to the wood floor? And do you add any type of caulking/glue in the seams of the base? Sorry for all the questions.. I agree with others that there needs to be more videos on building..my wife and I are very interested in these and would feel a lot of more comfortable buying them if we knew exactly how to build them before purchasing.
The ribs are attached at the ridge beam and base plates with self tapping screws. The R value of the one layer of installed insulation in this video is R12.5, with both layers that we sell, it would be a total of R25. It has a moisture barries on one side and radiant on the other. The base plates that run the length of the arched walls bolt to the founadtion. Caulking/glue is not necessary but you could if you wanted to. More videos are coming!
@ArchedCabinsLLC are the holes pre cut on the cabin for the screws?
LOVE THE MUSIC TOO!!! 👍👍👍
LOVE this!
This is great! I could easily live in one with a wood stove.
Look who's doing most of the labor with speed compared to the others.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 😊 A much better look.
Love too see one building in person
We've been thinking of building a gothic arch bow shed but like the idea of the metal bows . We will be in touch soon and your just a little south of us win win !
You guys need a video of the biggest building you make being built
We are working on more videos and hope to have documentation of a 30x40 within a year or so. Thanks!
I love this!!
Nice video!
Brilliant! Love that it's on a skid (good for property taxes).
Please explain? What does this mean and why iz it good for property taxes
@@sapphireedwards85 Because it's not a permanent structure so it isn't taxed like a house.
Check regulations as some places will not allow you to live on rvs on your own property. These rules could impact how you would use one on a skid. God bless.
I'm buying this model lol God I love it well I'll need the 2 bedroom one but still lol
Thank you for your business!
Hello,
Thanks for the video.
What kind/brand of insulation did you use and are you happy with it after living in you home?
Thanks for you time.
Very good job... Excellent....
Thank you so much 😀
I’m in search of these metal ribs.
I’d like to build a 24’ or 25’ X60 bldg. like this.
Great idea.
Archedcabins.com
Same here. Please let me know if and where you find them.
10/4
Wow this so osome cool
I like this size. Just right.
Thank you
You're welcome
Nice cabin. What is the diameter of the steel ribs (2" x 2")?? and the metal thickness gauge? Need to determine for heavy snow loads. Thanks.
Wit 222 Our cabins are currently rated for 30 psf snow loads and 150 mph wind speeds! We're having them tested for heavier snow loads and stronger wind speeds as we speak, and will update our website as soon as those numbers become available. www.ArchedCabins.com. Thanks for your interest!
Love the 24 x 30 you show compleatly done. Could you give total cost on it,without funiture or kitchen appliances . Have you shipped any to Hawaii yet? Cost of shipping ?
Would also about 24x30 you show completed without furniture and appliances shipping to 30165.
The 24x32 completely done, with a fireplace and loft, shipped to birmingham would be around 32000. Im not affiliated with arched cabins. I just did the math with the information listed on their website and got an estimate.
Pat Anderson Smincey 93 is right. There is a range but to get a 24' x 32' Arched Cabin roughed in would be between $30,000 and $40,000 depending on upgrades.
Sorry for the last question.
I just read some of the previous comments and se that you actually sell the insulation. I would be interested in possibly purchasing some if you're still selling the product.
Thanks!
We do not sell insulation separately from our kits. Email me at info@archedcabinsllc.com and I can give you the info on where to buy.
man they made it soun like 1 person can do this
Great job thanks for sharing how tall is it in the center thanks again
Thank you for your interest in Arched Cabins! Our 14'x20' kit is 12ft tall at the center. For more sizes and pricing please visit: archedcabins.com/kit-sizes-prices-and-example-quotes.html
Do you have pic's what one looks like inside set up for a model to see?
Just visit our website at www.ArchedCabins.com and go to the gallery. We will be adding more media and videos soon!
Super cool but how is it secured to the ground? One large gust of wind and I see this turning into a tumbleweed...
Our kits attach to your foundation, which is very secure.
do you guys sell to canadians? or would it be a pain to bring it across the boarder.. also i would think the structure would have to be built according to building specs in a particular province(state) in canada i would assume and cost accordingly if materials are more money or insulation specs.. running electrical and or building code
Did u ever find out about canadians purchasing??? Manitoba here!
Nice
Does your cost include doors and windows or is that the responsibility of the buyer?
Duh...
@@jckirby7994 Dude, it's a question.
You have to build the ends which is where you'd put doors and windows
Thoughts on welding the arches to the skid?
Great question. We manufacture a steel base plate with male connectors so the ribs slip over the connection, which can be welded for strength.
super❤
Thank you very much!
truthful WOOD JUST DON'T LAST, termites, weather rot! Bricks and cement cracks. SO IT METAL BUILDING FOR ME!
Rust?
No rust! its Galvianised Metal
@UMN Mode there many kinds to get SS, aluminum, galvanized is the most common
Is this something that is built on site or delivered prebuilt? A friend of mine is having trouble getting a prefab house delivered down a rd that isn't state maintained (they must have all their neighbors sign legal papers saying they will help pay to repair the rd if something happens but they can't get the signatures) so I'm hoping they could get a cabin kit and assemble it onsite.
We'd be happy to speak to y'all! We do deliver kits that can be assembled on site! Send us an email at ArchedCabins@gmail.com to get a conversation started with us, and thank you for thinking of us!
Has there been any testing done on how the structure works during earthquakes?
Great question! No, our cabins haven't been through earthquake testing. They do go through structural engineering testing each time engineered drawings are completed for a new location, and they have met high wind speed and snow load testing standards. I hope that helps!
Where did you find your skid package?!?!
If you look at 0:10 it says they're welding it together, so I feel 99.999% certain they make it themselves at their own shop, the same way they do the metal arches.
We do build it ourselves!
I know that it comes 24x30. Do you have it a little bigger in length? Like 60 perhaps. Does anyone do the plans I saw inside as well? I just love what I saw with the one you posted
Our longest Arched Cabin right now is 40' and we are not currently looking at going much longer but we are constantly improving and expanding options for our customers!
Do you have pictures on an example how one is set up for a two bd. inside? If not a two bed,one would be fine. It's going into the mountains of PA. And would need to put a stove in it.
Arched Cabins What is the cost of a 40' kit?
Rosa Quintana Hi Rosa! Our website has pictures of a few different build processes, including a 24x32, which will easily fit 2 bedrooms. Visit us at www.ArchedCabins.com and let us know what you think!
Joshua Fowler Hi Joshua! The Arched Cabin kit cost for a 40' long cabin depends on the width. Our largest cabin is a 24x40 and is currently priced at $12,800.
What code are these built to? What certs do these homes have to prove roof load and wind load?
They meet 2012 IBC codes and are also engineered to withstand 150 mph wind speeds and 32 psf snow loads.
they said with stand winds up to 200 mph and higher over the sides to top, very little snow can stay on the top cause of the slops
In the US you could live in it and be fine, I think it seems fairly decent (especially if secured to a concrete slab). But here in Australia we have annoying building regulations where heaps of these things wouldn't pass, I think our building regulations are so strict here to just try to prevent people ever doing anything themselves maybe.
Lord of the belts: The return of the KING here in the USA (Vermont) 34psf snow load wouldn’t work LOL
I don’t care if it’s sloped, if that engineers out to 34psf it would just collapse
I keep seeing the term "roughing in" but I am unsure what that entails exactly. Could you please elaborate what this means? For example, is it just dry walling the interior, or does it include other things like bathrooms, staircase, or kitchen area?
+Bill Nye Our build team can complete a full exterior rough-in, which means you'll have a weather-tight cabin when our crew leaves and can complete the interior however you'd like.
Are you Bill Nye, the science guy?
@@franko8572 I was wondering too!
Need it for Colorado, but not enough roof load.
We do meet Colorado snow load standards!
Is a higher R factor insulation available? Or is it spleen cancer for me with spray foam in Arizona?
Thank you for watching! Yes, we have an insulation upgrade that will take the R value to R25.
This is soo cool! I might do this! What was your total costs?
It depends on the size of the cabin! We'd be happy to write you a quote if you email us at ArchedCabinsllc@gmail.com!
Is there a 1 inch gap between insulation and panel?
No there is no gap.
What kind of material is the arches made from that the metal panels are screwed to?
They are steel 2x2 inch square tubing that are 14 gauge.

Question if you don't mind. if I wanted a cabin like this on skid in my backyard, will I have to pay property tax on it?
That's an excellent question but laws vary by locality so your best source of info is your county or city tax office website. This also applies to how many square feet a structure is before you have to apply for a building permit.
what were the arches made of ?and what was the length width and thickness of the arches
It is steel tubing, bent in a patented process to make the arches! They're 2x2 steel tubing - very sturdy!
Looks pretty easy are these water tight?
They sure are!
These are awesome. Where are you guys located? Can they be shipped?
Thanks very much! We're based in Texas and deliver our cabin kits all over the US!
Arched Cabins What about outside the US? Say Africa?
can you tie it to a concrete slab? or foundation without the skid pack?
Yes, we manufacture steel embeds to place into the concrete slab to tie the ribs into!
Where'd you get the ribs,up/rights walls.❔
We manufacture them ourselves!
Good to know 👍
Now just waiting to win lottery 😬.. thanks ✌
so it doesnt come whit front and back walls and you have to build your own or did i accidentally ate the wrong cupcake again?
You are correct.
not sure it would hold up to hurricanes and/or in the NW. ANY info on that?
+Polly Williams Yes! Our cabins withstand 150 mph wind speeds and up to 50 psf ground snow loads so far!
WOW . I am impressed. How do you keep the house warm with little to no insulation? You have a great product. I can see this a wonderful goal for young adults just starting out with a little land.. and good for us older farts needing to down size. lol
+Wilrausure you insolate it when you do the interior
The white/foil layer is insulation, and we can add an additional layer on the inside!
rock music
I need to know how to order or the plan for this type building?
Email us at ArchedCabins@gmail.com and we'd be happy to help you!
Could the metal sheets be put on vertically?
Our cabins aren't designed that way, no. The sheets are put on horizontally to increase the strength of the structure by connecting all of the ribs with the metal roofing.
you would be hard pressed to find a sheet metal manufacturer with capability to roll their vertical sheet rib to fit the shape for said vertical rib finish but with 2 foot spacing of the structural rib itself is another issue per proper securing
where can I get the frame for one like 20×40,,* how much $
Contact us at ArchedCabins@gmail.com! We'd be happy to help you!
Do you still have this lovely color?
Yes, I believe that is desert tan. You can see all our color option on the bottom of this page: www.archedcabinsllc.com/cabins/ Thanks for commenting!
What's the height of the skids you all use? Not the length or width.
We use W 6x9 I Beam to build skids. We do not provide skid packs but can help guide you in the design.
How can I look into purchasing one of these homes/cabins?
You can visit www.archedcabinsllc.com for more information and a free quote.
what is the advantage of arched vs regular rectangular house?
Great question! An arch is structurally stronger than a straight line, so if you're concerned about wind speeds or snow loads our Arched Cabins have higher ratings. We also build our cabins with a steel structure, which is less maintenance and longer lasting!
Think of it as an A-frame but with arched walls, made of steel ribs instead of wood, the pitch alone is enough to shed snow from the top portion but it does pile up on the sides so if you have got a path needing shoveling then you are in for some snow removal hardship. If you live in a snow zone.
do all 14 x 20s come w lofts? 😲
None of our kits come with materials for the lofts. You can buy those materials from any local build supply store and it saves you on extra shipping costs.
what sizes square tubing thank you
It's 2x2.
Are the ribs steel or wood?
Pretty sure that's steel
Jon Bishop The ribs are all steel!
what are these ribs made up of ?
Steel!
More video please , review inside please
Hi Gede! Visit our website for more pictures, videos, and information! www.ArchedCabins.com
What about condensation?
We use special insulation that pulls the moisture out of the space between the ribs, and we also encourage vents in the roof and end caps! Condensation isn't an issue!
Has anybody built one of these on blocks of stryrofoam with some kind of telephone poles on either end to keep it in place.. i have a friend who's house keeps getting flooded.. this looks light enough to be supported on dock foam blocks to avoid water damage..
That's a really interesting concept. I grew up in Louisiana so I'm well aware of how vital a float-able setup can be.
We haven't yet, no! We can build on extended piers to elevate the house.
Arched Cabins
They don't seem to want it elevated, but floatable. The poles are to keep it in the same location with it rising/floating with the water, much like a spud barge is held in place yet rises and falls with the tide.
how thick is the square tubing?
The tubing is 2 inch square tubing.
@@ArchedCabinsLLC Thanks! what about the wall thickness though? like the inner diameter/outer diameter of the tubing
I don't know an easy way you'd make those curved metal rafters
They go through a patented rolling process to achieve a certain degree for the kit they're going to be a part of! The rolling makes the steel stronger during the process as well.
Can these have restrooms and kitchens in them?
Absolutely!
jw8302 by "rest rooms" do you mean a little room with a sofa to "rest" in, or the place you take a dump ?
Duh....
Would be very much Appreciated for your clever VDO, May I ask you The house frame is steel or wood.? Or How can I get ไWhat exactly Construction materials and equipment ?
Thank you very much in advance for your kindness.......
Our cabin kit frame is entirely steel! You will need standard power tools to build an Arched Cabin, plus a crane or lift of some sort to erect the structure.
Give me more intruction
The key term here is catenary arch.
It's very similar, yes!
@@ArchedCabinsLLC actually its a gothic arch bow shed made with metal bows instead of wood .
We are looking for a contractor in North Florida to help us with his amazing project
Great! Can't wait to see how your Arched Cabin turns out!
Precio por favor. Gracias
www.archedcabinsllc.com/cabins/
Insulation ?
+immrnoidall We use SolarGuard insulation!
Arched Cabins thanks.
cost per square foot?
Depends on how you finish the interior, which is entirely up to you!
omg lazy frett fingers are like fingernails on a blackboard , had to mute :P
This can be earthquake proof. we need them in Mexico...
Not a very good step by step video. Need the side rail application, do kits come with base already welded, windows, and door installation. Are areas between outside corrugated roofing sealed for moisture inhibitors?
We are working on getting more videos out to cover all the things. This is just meant to be a general overview. Please follow us to see all our past videos and new ones coming out. To answer a few of your questions, Arched Cabin kits include a build manual, floor plates, ribs, ridge beam, standard R22 insulation for the arched walls(R33.6 with the insulation upgrade) , metal roof paneling, rubber trim and foam inserts to use by the end caps, touch up paint, and color coordinated fasteners needed to assemble the cabin. The kit price does not include the foundation, installation, interior, end caps, delivery, or anything that is not included above. General pricing information can be found here: www.archedcabinsllc.com/cabins
Installing Insulation? lol
Yes! Our insulation comes in rolls, and is called SolarGuard.

That must be a non-union crew. hahahahahahha they work way too hard and way too fast to be part of any union. ahahahahahahahaha.
why in the hell wouldn't you show the whole damn thing? Pissed me off so much I'm clicking off the link.
Our team builds the exterior of the Arched Cabin only, plus a loft if our clients request one. We showed our part of the build process!
Nice
