i have lived in these , first one teaches , second one works , third is easy . build your own , it is only a frame and skin .find coppice , cut( about 30 sticks per person ) long (at least 20 ft , 25 is better )flexible sticks ,trim side shoots , drag home in bundles , tie tip to tip in pairs with a proper overlap for strengh , , heel in one end of a pair ,bend the other end into an arch , heel in that end , repeat with the next pair ,crossing over the top of the first ones , tie crossing point , repeat and refine the process until you have a frame , weave between your frame until it is strong . peg to floor . cover .(multi layers with insulation is good ). you need more sticks than you thought .use string ,it makes it easier and choose a "good " place .i hope this helps . benders good , and you can go leaving a small footprint . |
