PlugDesign

High-Level Design Goals

• Nice big curves like your mom
• Give it a tilt to show the roofline and prongs
• Minimal cutting and waste of sheet goods
• Load-bearing roof
• Use general stick-framing techniques
• No painting or plastic wrap
• Lockable, secure, and weather-resistant

Early Thoughts

• Use orange plastic sheeting (coroplast) for skin, as it will wrap to the curves
• Use structural sheet goods only where necessary
• Pre-frame the curved sections (or at least pre-cut the arcs for headers/footers)
• Back wall is the only truly "tipped" structural member
• Other walls looked tipped, but have true vertical studs and a trapezoidal shape/skin
• Assembly of major walls built on ground, are raised in place and tied into post-and-beam superstructure
• Curved areas are tied in after major structural elements are secure
• GetPluggedIn for thoughts on where/how to build, tools needed, etc.
