The frame began to take shape and a production line developed for cutting and finishing the car tyre strips for the roof.
Additional materials were sourced including fixings, car tyres and waste timber from a local demolition company. In order to keep costs low very little of the timber was paid for but rather ‘scavenged’ from a giant waste timber mound on the site of the local demolition company DRS which would otherwise have been chipped up and shipped away.
Discussions began with the engineer via email to ensure the very unorthodox design approach would still result in a safe and secure structure which was taking into account appropriate wind loading requirements and demonstrating sufficiently strong cross-bracing and jointing techniques.
