- Hi, I'm Josh.
[5]
- I'm Sara.
[6]
- I'm the Co-owner of Arched
Cabins with my father, Dave.
[9]
- And I'm the Business
Manager for Arched Cabins.
[11]
- And what we do at Arched
Cabins, is we provide
[14]
housing solutions that are affordable
[17]
and great for do-it-yourselfers
[17]
to be able to get a piece of property
[20]
and build a house for their selves.
[22]
- We offer a number of
sizes anywhere from 8x8
[24]
up to a 40 foot long Arched Cabin
[26]
that people live in full time.
[28]
- What we do at Arched Cabins is we build
[30]
affordable do-it-yourself structures
[33]
to be able to build a
home on your own property.
[35]
Arched Cabins is my dad's baby.
[36]
He designed the structure.
[38]
It was his dream.
[39]
But, I am passionate about delivering
[41]
a high quality product to people.
[43]
So, I've been able to kind of tag in,
[45]
help him realize his
dream, and in doing so
[47]
helped many people realize
their dreams of home ownership.
[51]
My father Dave, Creator
of the Arched Cabin,
[55]
is a super interesting
person, super creative.
[58]
He's always being quirky with design
[61]
and likes to try to do things
different than the mainstream.
[64]
Ten years ago, when my dad
was building these cabins,
[67]
I hadn't seen a drawing.
[68]
I hadn't seen anything about
this arched shaped house
[72]
that he wanted to build.
[73]
And he brought me out
here to check them out.
[75]
And just by looking at them,
[77]
you can see there's nothing else
[78]
like it that any one is doing.
[80]
So, it's a super unique structure
[81]
and I was blown away at the simplicity,
[83]
how fast it goes together,
and how easy it is to build.
[86]
(upbeat music)
[91]
After these first three Arched Cabins
[93]
it was kind of just a
creative, cool, fun project.
[97]
It didn't really have direction.
[99]
It wasn't until my dad
built his retirement house
[101]
in New Mexico and my brother
built a primary residence
[104]
in New Mexico, that it
really started to take off.
[107]
When they built those up there,
[108]
a lot of people started
asking hey how do I get that?
[111]
How do I get a Arched Cabin?
[112]
(upbeat music)
[113]
It was at that point,
[114]
when we got into marketing and web site,
[116]
that I got more involved with helping them
[119]
push Arched Cabins.
[121]
So, Arched Cabins... When you look at it,
[125]
that's what you see now,
because it's already labeled,
[127]
it's already called Arched Cabins.
[129]
But in the beginning,
[130]
when we were trying to
come up with a name,
[131]
it took a little bit of work.
[133]
Arched Cabins sounds good,
it makes a nice looking logo,
[137]
and it matches the house.
[139]
Our mission at Arched Cabins
[141]
is to provide a quality,
affordable, long-lasting,
[145]
highly durable, easy to
put together structure
[148]
for people to build their own house.
[151]
(upbeat music)
[153]
They'll get a piece of land
and they've got this dream.
[154]
They want to live on the land.
[155]
How are we going to do it?
[157]
So, they come to Arched Cabins,
[158]
and we help them realize their dream
[160]
of having a home that they
own on their own property.
[162]
So, when they can take our product
[165]
and put it together their selves,
[166]
and build their own house,
[168]
and save money in the process,
[169]
and be able to build it cash
[170]
instead of having to finance everything,
[172]
they're super pleased.
[174]
(upbeat music)
[178]
Arched Cabins are very
flexible structures.
[180]
We go from our smallest at eight feet wide
[182]
all the way up to 30 feet wide.
[185]
You'll find this one is going to be
[186]
in the center of our range.
[187]
This is a 14 foot wide Arched Cabin.
[189]
They also come in a range of heights.
[191]
So, this 14 foot wide
is about 12 feet tall.
[194]
The 24 feet wide you'll go
up to about 19 feet tall.
[197]
So, you see what they've done here is
[199]
they've decided to go
with the inset porch.
[201]
They've got a double door
and two large windows
[203]
to allow plenty of natural light in.
[205]
They're really a blank canvas.
[207]
You can do anything you want.
[211]
On the 14 foot wides you can have loft,
[213]
but it's more like a sleeping loft.
[215]
On our 24 foot wide,
they're about 19 feet tall,
[218]
and you can have a full loft
with a full second floor,
[220]
and a walk-out balcony.
[226]
One of the advantages about Arched Cabins
[227]
is you can build and Arched
Cabin on any foundation type.
[230]
So, you can build it on a
cement slab, block-and-beam,
[233]
or a pier-and-beam foundation.
[235]
So, if you wanted to get property
next to a creek or river,
[238]
and you wanted a little more elevation
[239]
to keep you out of the water,
[240]
you can stay high and
dry with an Arched Cabin.
[244]
So, all the cabins here
are 14 by 20 Arched Cabins.
[247]
They're 20 feet long.
[248]
With a 30 foot by 40 foot Arched
Cabin with a finished loft,
[251]
you can have about 2,000
square feet of living space.
[254]
So, at Arched Cabins, we're
providing all the pieces
[257]
of the puzzle for people
to build their own house.
[259]
It's a full do-it-yourself kit.
[262]
It literally snaps together like Legos.
[265]
All the components,
[266]
that we fabricate here in Cypress, Texas
[268]
are all steel.
[270]
It's a very long-lasting durable structure
[272]
that's very weathertight.
[274]
Some of the advantages
that you've got with this
[277]
are extremely high wind load rating
[279]
and extremely high snow load rating.
[281]
The shape of the arch lends itself
[284]
to being a very strong structure.
[286]
We have the design and the
utility patents on Arched Cabins.
[290]
So, the design patent kind
of covers the design and look
[294]
of the Arched Cabin.
[295]
The utility patent covers more
the function of the cabin,
[298]
and the way everything goes together.
[299]
So, the nuts and bolts
of the Arched Cabin.
[302]
(upbeat music)
[305]
Some of the things
people don't think about
[306]
when they're getting property.
[307]
One, what am I going
to put on the property.
[310]
The next thing they might not think about,
[311]
is the permitting process,
and what they may have to do
[314]
to be able to build
something on their property.
[316]
With our experience and with
all the different locations
[319]
that we've built, we can help
you through that process.
[322]
(majestic music)
[328]
It's not about materials,
it's not about money,
[330]
it's not about anything else.
[332]
People are the heart of the business.
[334]
The people we have working with us
[336]
and the people that we're
offering our products to
[338]
are always going to be number one.
[340]
(upbeat music)
[347]
One of the things I love
most about Arched Cabins
[350]
is helping my dad realize his dreams
[352]
of leaving a mark in something.
[355]
So, he's designed and
came up with the process
[358]
of the Arched Cabins.
[360]
And now, in a number of states,
[362]
you can go and find Arched Cabins,
[364]
and see people living in them day-to-day,
[367]
and see the quality of
life they get to have
[370]
through something that we've
put together and we've created.
[373]
You can find Arched Cabins
[374]
from the east coast to the west coast,
[376]
and everywhere in between.
[378]
We've got Arched Cabins on beaches,
[380]
we have them up in the mountains,
[381]
we have them in high desert,
[383]
from urban to suburban settings.
[385]
People have used them in their back yards
[386]
as mother-in-law's quarters.
[387]
Or they'll have a big piece of property
[390]
and that will be what they've got
[391]
is an Arched Cabin.
[393]
One of the benefits to and Arched Cabin
[394]
is it's a blank canvas.
[396]
So, however you want to stylize it
[398]
from the actual shell itself.
[399]
You can go modern, you can go rustic.
[403]
Arched Cabins fits a variety of needs.
[405]
We have people running
on city water and sewer.
[408]
And we have people
completely off-grid that are
[410]
completely self-sufficient
with solar panels
[412]
and water tanks.
[414]
If you're wanting to go off-grid,
[415]
or if you're in a more remote location,
[417]
you can break it down to
individual components.
[420]
So, you can carry just a
single piece of sheet metal,
[422]
a single rib, the ridge beam,
but individual components
[426]
to get back to your build site.
[427]
So, you don't have to be able
to pull a truck and trailer
[429]
right up to where you want the house.
[431]
You can take it back with you
[433]
where ever you need to get it.
[434]
So, Arched Cabins are
super easy to put together.
[436]
They snap right together.
[438]
You screw it together.
[440]
That's about all you've got.
[441]
Basic handyman skills and
you can build this yourself.
[444]
If you can build a deck, you
can build an Arched Cabin.
[448]
Once you get to the larger sizes,
[449]
you do need a little extra equipment.
[451]
But, the process is the same.
[452]
So, you're not going to
need any more skills.
[454]
It's still basic construction.
[458]
(majestic music)
[460]
Something that I consider
part of the American Dream
[463]
is land and home ownership.
[466]
So, being able to have access
[467]
to the exact environment
[468]
you want to live in is pretty incredible.
[471]
So, if you want to live in the mountains
[473]
you can get your chunk of
the dream in the mountains.
[475]
If you want to live in the high desert,
[476]
if you want to live by the ocean,
[478]
all the possibilities are there.
[480]
And with Arched Cabins
as our solution for you,
[483]
we give you an inexpensive,
quick, and easy way
[486]
for you to see your dreams.
[487]
So, it's great for us to help
people reconnect with nature
[490]
and get back out there on a
piece of land of their own
[493]
where you can unplug.
[495]
Don't worry about the cell phone.
[496]
Don't worry about the T.V.
[497]
Don't worry about the computer.
[499]
Get back in touch with nature.
[502]
So, for somebody looking
to start their own
[504]
alternative housing company,
[507]
I would say the some of the
most important things are
[510]
be prepared to work a
lot and work super hard.
[513]
Always remember people are number one.
[516]
And remember that you are
building someone's home.
[518]
This is something they
are going to live in
[519]
for years to come.
[520]
So, you want your quality to be on point.
[523]
You don't want to cut corners.
[524]
You don't want to take any short cuts.
[525]
You want it to be the best
product you can offer them.
[528]
We ship Arched Cabins nationwide.
[530]
We're getting into international shipping.
[533]
But right now, any where
in the United States,
[535]
we can take care of you.
[536]
So, you can go to archedcabins.com.
[539]
Everything's up front.
[540]
Everything's clear.
[541]
Everything's easy to navigate.
[543]

exactly what you want,
[545]
