Memory Shelter Manual
Please follow the timeline below.
Building the shelter with wooden sticks.
if you have mainly leftover material
please go back
The Column
Firstly, we can use the leftover wood to build a column. This column will become the main structure of the shelter.
1. Set up foundation
Cut the wood into length 50-40 cm.
Put the same hight of 2 wooden sticks parallelly.
At the same time, insert the ㄩ shape metalware underneath the wooden sticks.
2. Stacking
Stacking the wooden sticks into a tower
the height of a tower is depending on your body height.
It can go max. 230cm.
If you have an uneven shape of wooden sticks.
Here is the solution.
3. Fix the top
Install hardware on the top four sticks of the tower.
4. Tied it up
Connecting the upper end and the lower end of the wire in the middle of the column.
Pass the metal wire through the hole on the upper metalwares.
Pull it down from inside.
Pass the wire through the hole on the lower metal wares.

5. Connect the wire with a turnbuckle
The upper end of the wire goes through the aluminum sleeves first, then goes through-hole of turnbuckles.
Fix the loop by using wire crimp to crimp the aluminum sleeves. Repeat it again on the bottom part of turnbuckles

Turning the middle part of turnbuckle until the metal wire is tightened
6. Apply to another side

Day 1
With a column, we can create a basic living place for a few days.
1. Furniture
Use the column as a foundation.
Insert the wooden stick into the void of the column.
Partition
Coat Rack
Chair

02-1. Wire
03. wall panel
04. metalware
2. Roof
The roof panel(01) is fixing by the wooden sticks (02).
The wooden sticks connect to the wall panel(03) with the wire(02-1).
The weight of the wall panel creates a compression force on the top of the column. It makes the roof panel become stable.
3. Wall
The wall panels are hanging by the wire. Using the metalware(04) to connect the 4 panels.
Day 2~4
Continuing building up the other 4 columns, meanwhile you can still live in a place with one column.
First Shelter
4 columns
Day 5
After building up 4 columns, you can start to creat a bigger living place.
1. Roof
Use the column as a foundation.
Insert the wooden stick into the void of the column.
Higher roof (stick)
Fabric
Lower roof (stick)
Make a knot on the rope at both sides of the fabric.
Rope connect to a bag of stone (or heavy stuff)
2. Wall
Use the column as a foundation.
Insert the wooden stick into the void of the column.
According to different materials, the construction method would be different. Here we separated the material into two categories:
Soft Material
Hard Material
Day 6
Connect your space with others, creating a small community.
