However, I thought to skin the outside you'd want to build the structure first, so that you can overlap the outer side wall skin onto the roof about 6 inches, to really clamp the entire unit together. If you skin the outer disassembled, then you'd just have reinforcing strips to join and seal the sides to the roof section. Is that enough? I'm curious about folks' thoughts on this.
Me, too....glad you asked...
Seems I read what you understand at least a thousand times, that the 'whole' skin gave the assembly its strength....I would think that meant at best one piece does the whole thing, slip a sock over it with the hole in the bottom kinda like with a a little six drawstring area under the bottom....
Then I thought the next best thing was six inches under the bottom and up and over the top edge for a few inches...
But, it is looking like just overlap its and pieces like crazy as long as one likes the look? and one makes the sock?
As long as one gets a good bond....everywhere there is overlap? Then maybe everything is peachy?
So.....to accomplish this....and I am confused beyond hope....does the bond need to be fabric to fabric with the bonding agent?.....make all bonds before changing agents? Although if memory serves me right....some switheroos are considered acceptable? So....which ones ARE NOT acceptable?
Can the fabric switheroo like crazy also? Go from canvas, to muslin, to fiberglass screen, to paper drywall tape, to fiber drywall tape, to plastic drywall edging? (should the edging be on foam, then covered by fabric? or the other way around? )....
Oh, well....I could test all of the above...but, I am already expired....I am just gonna slap some stuff on foam, and cover it with paint.
