Hello,
I am looking for information on DIY anchoring systems for tiny houses that are on rocky ground. We are in New England and there are many rocks here, huge and small. What are people using to anchor in these types of conditions?
Thanks, Taica
Hi! Thanks for your reply! Weight load would about 850-1000 lbs max. They will be attached to steel runners embedded in a wood-framed tiny house. The flooring will be 1/2" ply. I'm hoping to keep the width of the loft as thin as possible in order to maximize head space in the loft. Weight is a consideration since it's a tiny house but it's a 2 axel trailer rated to 18K lbs so it's not a huge issue. Thanks!
Hello, we are going to be building two lofts. We have questions about framing. We are considering either going with steel tubing or 2x6's turned on their sides. Anyone have info about either method in terms of stability, weight and cost?
Thanks! Taica
We are ready to block and level our trailer to start our build. We don't plan to move it but want to be able to in case. We planned to mix 3/4 inch loose stone with crushed gravel that has rock dust for pads, then stack 16x8 concrete blocks (two together with the seams alternating as we stack up) and shim with wood. I have not seen anyone doing it this way and want to make sure it will be safe. We are in New England with lots of rocks in the ground so difficult to scrape down and level.
Does anyone have advice or links to appropriate info? Thanks! Taica Patience
