Eco Benefits

Wastewater garden – Your excess or grey water is used to fuel the plants and soil outside the cabin.
Small Carbon footprint – During the building process, pollution isn’t created. Plus, the homes do not require as much power as traditional homes.
Solar Power – A-frame homes encourage solar power energy sources. Their roof designs make it easier to attach solar devices on them. The homes are small and do not require a heavy power source to heat during the winters or keep cool during the summers.

What is an A-Frame?

An A-frame house is a triangular shaped structure that looks like the letter “A.” The structure provides covered shelter and features a sloped roof. The homes are located in the wilderness, where they’re allowed to be built. A-frame homes are smaller than traditional residential homes.

The first A-frame home in the US was built in 1934. After World War II, A-frame homes began to appear in the Great Outdoors. Many people think A-frame homes were a 20th-century invention, but that isn’t true. Early civilizations throughout Asia, for example, lived in thatched huts shaped like the letter A.

Beginning in the 70s, A-frame homes cooled. However, thanks to the tiny home movement, A-frame homes are in demand more than ever before.
