Victor,

If you want a donated shelter for your organization we need to raise the money by helping you promote your organization and it’s need for a shelter.

sorry, that is supposed to be 120′sq, not 12′ sq…

How many sheets of 3/4″ material is required… I just finished building a 4′x8′ CNC table.. and I’m needing to build a greenhouse next spring… I could build one of these and cover it with solex.. This might be the ticket (I gotta get it down to 12′sq or less though, maybe shorten it up by a couple ribs)…

I might be interested in building a few of these down the road for ‘whatever’ if it works out well…

How long is assembly time for one of these?

The wall ribs are 8″ thick so there is plenty of room for the occupant to add insulation in the walls as well as a thermal break on either the outside under the metal or inside. The idea is that this get’s someone started at the most affordable price possible and they can customize themselves.

#1 thing I see missing is insulation. In NY this thing would never fly.
Same with New Mexico. Burning hot in summer, freezing cold on winter nights.
Even a FEMA trailer has insulation in the walls. Crappy as they are.

Wall ribs transmit heat to the outside in winter. Thermal break is needed.

I’ll look at the Sketchup file. I do like the beginnings of this concept though.

You could get involved in many ways. By either getting set up with a cnc machine or I think the best way would be to get in touch with me at info@shelter20.com and we could discuss some more productive ways to get involved as well and I promise I will be prompt with my response.

We will try and get some more video pics and videos up soon, but if you check out this PBS News Hour clip you will see a bunch of kids working making LED Throwies in one at this years Bay are Maker Faire. The shelter segment is at about the 7:30. Shelter Clip
