For many, UV resistance must be addressed in outdoor environments. Coatings and protection can include:

  • UV inhibitors in plastic
  • Gravel (roof)
  • Physical protection
  • Cement coat
  • Paint and other UV coat
  • Sacrificial material - sufficient thickness
  • Metal or wood cladding
  • Use in interior or behind walls

Building Materials - Siding

  • Drip cap - 2" now used at base of SH6-7 - about 13 sections at $7 or $100 - [1]
  • Metal siding closures - about 40 for $60- [2]
  • Gutter Clips - 8 in SH7 - $16 - [3]

Electrical

  • Wallo access panels - 3 - $30 [4]
  • electrical boxes - 30 or so for $120 [5]

Electrical Service Entrance

  • Boxes are Plasma cut from thin steel or stainless, and folded. Small welds are done as needed.
  • 3D printed insulators are used
  • Teminals use CuAl and made from ZnAl alloys?
  • [2] 2" bushing $4 [6]
  • 2" electrical conduit
  • 3" electrical conduit for service entrance

Plumbing

  • 2" PVC pipe @$7 for 10' [7]
  • [2] 2" union $20 [8]

Tools

  • Dewalt battery - 8 of them per event at $50 - $400 saved based on lifetime design
  • Cordless Blower - $15 - [9]
  • Cordless heat gun - $40 [10]
  • Gunnie - 24 - or $200 [11]
