Thread: A-frame shelter

  1. #1

    A-frame shelter

    Has anyone here build an A-frame shelter it would be the type with the raised bed, I tried to build one yesterday but it's not as easy as it looks, it's not the debris A-frame the best way to describe it would be the type the S.A.S would use in the jungle.
    I am hoping to build one and try it out when we are on our gathering next weekend so any advice or useful links will be very welcome.
    Thanks in advance Davy.

    Do you mean something like this:-



    or with a permanent roof - like an open fronted shelter?(Sean's double lean to in this vid.)

    Fascinating, I like the way they have used the trees on the still image to give the structure stability. Saves strapping cross braces across the A frame or bedding the support poles into the ground
