Experiments with cans & bottle litter used as containers for soil or water in a drywall metal clad shelter vertical frame

Experiments with cans & bottle litter used as containers for soil or water in a drywall metal clad shelter vertical  frame

These vertical beams are designed to be extemely low cost & fire resistant. Theu are probably not strong enought for horizontal beams  

Type A. 

 Whole empty used drinks cans:
1. filled with compressed soil or sand,
2. then at seams, overlapped with a cut side wall of a can, that is filled with compacted soil or sand as well.
Alternatively, concrete or cement could be used as a filler at higher cost, but higher strength

Finally this taped together in an overlapping spiral with waterproof  50mm parcel tape  .
It is placed inside 72mm drywall galv metal channel

Note: for extra strength, the top & bottom of can can be cut out if using cement or concrete, forming a continual concrete fused length of bean.

Furthermore a length of rebar (  8-12mm )can be inserted through the middle

Side view of long sided drywall channel (50mm long side)

 A 72mm wide channel of dry wall (25mm normal size wall ) is then screwed or bolted to the other side

 Type B.

1. Common plastic bottles can be filled with water & then lid glued tight sealed with PU lumberjack type glue

2. Insert them into drywall channel of appropiate size.

3. Concrete or cement is inserted into gaps beween each bottle for strength.

4. if it is thought that water could leask out (yet to experiment, Bottle could be filled with compressed soil or sand & topped up with water 

 

Type c

Bricks, inserted into galv drywall , then concrete or mortor filling gaps

Type D
Door off cuts screwed & glued together, then inserted into drywall

Greenhouse Prototype Made from Grp Sheets & Composite Door Edge Off cuts (Double Garage Size)

Greenhouse Prototype Made from Grp Sheets & Composite Door Edge Off cuts (Double Garage Size)

Made from off cuts of other prototypes,  it has extra strong beams to hang heavy soil

filled baskets .

These are drywall metal 'metalclad' beams

Tee far wall (hidden from view) has the frame on the outside, so it forms a trellis for creeping plants / veg to grow on

Details Here :  Grp Sheet Green House or Storage Shed Prototype with Frame on the Outside to Form a Trellis to Suppot Creeping Vines or Beans etc

Door is hinged, but a sliding door may be prefeable to stop wind catching & braking it

Experiments in frame construction

Normally the uprights wild be placed where grp sheets edge overlap.
Instead, I placed it further along as I tried an experiment where a wedge could be placed in here to help ventialtion

Partially finished

Materials to Build 2 to 3 Small Green Houses Donated to Chester Allotment Residents by the Cabinz Project

 Materials to Build 2 to 3 Small Green Houses Donated to Chester Allotment Residents today.

A green house similar to the Wedge Block Shelter is suggested

Kev accepted the off cuts of 2 metre long door edge strips for the frame & grp fibreglass panels for the walls & roof.
He will have one green house on his plot


Screws & glue were also donated

 Planned site of the greenhouse

A sample frame panel was constructed on site to show Kev & his friends how to make a frame from the off cuts  (4 are required for a 2m x 2m frame)
Triangular shaped corner wedges from door frames off cuts are used for corner cross bracing

Door edge strips (in 6 colours)
