    |
|
hi i shall explain this as clear as i can.
i'm exploring the possibilities of paper as a building material.
i have designed a portable sun shelter that is essential a strip of paper 2.5 ft wide and about 100 ft long rolled into a coil. the coil can be release and loosened such that you get a cone/shell like structure lying on its side.
i am now exploring the options for a particular paper product. i need the flexibility to turn this into a tight transportable coil, yet, be able to form an approximately 10ft high look and be structurally strong enough to hold that position and it's own weight....i'm thinking single-ply corrugated cardboard with big lutes.
does anyone know if there are more options? i would appreciate any help very very very much.
