What is used for roofing and sheathing of structure?
In field tests, the same plastic that was used in the outer shell of the beams is used in 4’x8′ sheets to cover the shelters. Windows and doors can easily be cut in the plastic to accommodate the needs of the occupants. For a more culturally sensitive alternative, native sheathing and roofing materials such as palm leaves, grass or reeds, bamboo or other local materials can be used to cover the shelter, when available.
