I rented an A-frame cabin when my wife died. The angle of the roof makes for a ton of wasted space. Think about your kitchen base cabinets and how far out from the wall they are. No thanks, not for me.

I think the A frame is specifically for heavy snow load areas. Otherwise, looks like typical steel buildings. Yes, a step up from a trailer.

I don't even use fram oil filters so there is no way I'd ever use a fram building!!!!

Another idea if you NEED an A-frame is to have a standard first story A-Frame upper floors. But modern construction is pretty good if you are up to code in the area. |

I've been looking at a ton of these "cabin kits". If you're not looking to live in it full time, it's pretty difficult to turn down a 14X60 single wide trailer. That's likely what I'm going to end up with at my compound. I'm only there about a weekend a month. For less than 20K, you have electricity, plumbing, the works.

What's the consensus on these types of buildings in general? Something on the op's original link but a more traditional floor plan?

I don't know why, I've always wanted one. the lay out shows a normal first floor with a standard a frame "loft" I've always loved to the lofts lol

At most, you want to be in one for two weeks. The roof lasts forever and in most forested locations you get more moss issues than snow load issues. Where there is a lot of snow, runoff can be a problem. You can see a lot of messed up foundations. This is because people don't know how to build into the mountain and they didn't think off runoff. Within the narrow limits of their purpose, A frames are quite good. ETA I am assuming we are talking about the traditional 1960-1970's a frames. Not the modern house with a high pitched roof. |
