Children sleeping rough in cars on our streets at night belong to us all.

If you have room on your section why not consider organising a group of friends and family to assist with the construction of a small portable accommodation unit (under 10sqm and 3.5m high requires no consent) and making it available free of charge for emergency accommodation for homeless children in your community (managed by a social worker) - and put out a challenge to others who are similarly minded.

This listing is for galvanised steel box-section U-frames that form the skeleton of the structure:

1 x 8m length (30mm x 30mm x 2mm) formed to profile 3.5m wide and 3m high [13.5kg each]; or

1 x 8m length (30mm x 30mm x 2mm) formed to profile 2.4m wide and 3.5m high (overhead loft) [13.5kg each]; or

1 x 6.5m length (25mm x 25mm x 1.5mm) formed to profile 2.4m wide and 2.1m high (as per photos) [7.3 kg each]

This design lends itself to ease of construction (the zincalume does not require bending and the whole frame can go together with just a spanner and a battery drill).

Our U-frames are located at 800mm centres, so for example 6 bays for a 4.8m long unit requires 7 U-frames.

These form extremely durable and wind-resistant structures.

The U-frames are essentially one continuous steel tie-down component running from one side of the structure to the other.

Purlins are fixed to the underside of the steel U-frames (as may be the exterior cladding - so no risk of tear-off) and zincalume cladding may be tek-screwed directly into the steel U-frame (not to a timber purlin)

Once the U-frames are dyna-bolted to each side of a concrete floor-pad, this forms a structure of unsurpassed wind-resistance (theoretically hurricane-proof)
