"Pop-Up" Cabin Designed to be Built in a Single Day - Ep 1

We built a lightweight DIY cabin that is designed to fit together in a single day. This makes it a great low-cost option for those wanting to build their very own cabin, especially in remote areas where it is difficult to haul in heavy materials. We used a snowmobile to transport our cabin materials to the build site, where we assembled them. Our building materials consisted of: barn boards, 2“x4“ lumber, cedar strapping, tarp, vapor barrier plastic, and screws. We built the cabin upon 3 small cedar logs, which came from a nearby fallen tree. The Pop-Up Cabin Plans (PDF file) can be purchased at Teespring: The comprehensive plans include 18 pages of step-by-step instructions, exact measurements, and clear diagrams, which show exactly how the cabin was assembled from the ground up. We strengthened the design by giving the cabin a proper base and roof, which means no gaps under the walls and no more ugly tarp. :) Special thanks
