The Benefits of Sing Core for Portable Structures

Sing Core and Your Build

Sing Core provides many benefits to permanent structures and designs, but what about portable ones? What value comes with using Sing Core for your tiny house, expo setup, or other portable structure? In this article we will answer that question, and explain how Sing Core can make your portable build so much better.

What are Portable Structures?

Portable structures are builds, projects, and other miscellaneous designs that are made to be portable. While different people may have different opinions on what makes things “portable”, it ultimately comes down to a few key requirements: size, weight, and durability. Portable things are hardly portable if they’re too big and heavy to move, and you wouldn’t even want to bother with a “portable” object that’s going to break within just a few uses.

A few examples of portable structures include: tiny houses, trades show/expo booths and displays, teardown buildings, etc. In general, portable structures need to be able to be moved either with or without disassembling them, and this presents a number of problems and possible complications.

Portable Structure Problems

Portable structures face many potential issues, particularly when being transported. Structures like tiny houses must be stable, well crafted, and tightly secured otherwise they risk severe damage during travel. Trade show walls need to be lightweight enough to be moved and assembled by one person, but sturdy enough to support product and sign boards. No matter the portable structure, it presents a significant chance of being damaged or destroyed if not built and handled properly. That’s where Sing Core comes in.

The Sing Core Solution

Sing Core alleviates the pains of dealing with portable structures significantly. Sing Core is already used to build high end tiny houses and the best trade show panels out there, and it can be used to build many more projects as well. The lightweight and strong nature of our product lends itself to being used for portable structures, as it reduces the risk of the previously mentioned complications.

Sing Core panels are much lighter than the standard building choices, no matter the size of the panel. Not only does this make transporting large portable structures possible, it also makes assembling and disassembling them much simpler and less dangerous. Trade show displays can be easily moved and assembled, pop-up structures can be put up and torn down much quicker and safer, and more. The lightweight benefits to using Sing Core for your portable structure are significant, but it doesn’t just end there. Our panels are also pound-for-pound stronger than steel, so you don’t have to worry about sacrificing strength for ease of use and transport. You also don’t have to worry about your structure warping or breaking, as all of our panels come with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee.

So, by using Sing Core for your portable structure, you get a lighter, stronger, and easier to use end result, as well as a guarantee that it will last for at least 50 years. If you’re considering using Sing Core for your project, feel free to submit a quote request from our pricing page, and we’ll get in touch!

New 2014 Technology for Temporary Tarp Structures

Good News

Replace Pipe Frame with Post and Beam Structure at a Fraction of the Cost

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAInventor, Peter Sing has just released new tarp structure technology, enabling users of temporary tarp structures to build a beautiful Sing post and beam structure frame with his new space-age technology. Nothing else compares (see our comparison chart).

To help the homeless living in tent cities, Peter has designed The World’s Smallest House, offering more safety, security, room and ease of heating for those who otherwise would be living in a tent or tarp structure.

This effort was the bridge to using Sing Core Posts and Beams to build disaster and/or temporary housing structures that were covered, not in exterior panels, like the smallest house, but tarps. Being so lightweight makes transporting the basic materials fast and inexpensive.

Standard Sing Core Posts and Beams are 3” x 6” x 8 feet in length, very visually impressive and structurally more sound than other building materials due to being flat and resistant to warp and twist, yet each beam weighs in at less than 10 pounds – and they’re economical in comparison – as they are available to you for only $15 each.

Post and Beam

Post and Beam

Wouldn’t anyone using a temporary structure love the beautiful appearance of a post and beam, with better performance (stronger than steel) and lightweight enough that an entire structure can be built in an hour by one person.

If you do a Google image search for lightweight beams, you will see the advantages of patented Sing Posts and Beams.

Advantages of using Sign Posts and Beams for your tarps structure include:

  1. Easy to construct in minutes. Sing Posts and Beams are lightweight, perfectly straight and assemble quickly with nuts and bolts (included) for strong structural integrity.
  2. Lightweight.  Each 3” x 6” 8 foot post or beam weighs in at less than 10 pounds, making it easy to manage by a single person on site and also less expensive to transport.
  3. High Strength. Sing Posts and Beams are stronger than steel pound for pound (see comparison).
  4. Easy Assembly. Simple mechanical fastening. The flat wood surface is easy to lay tarps over and secure with wood strips to secure the tarps to the Sing Post and Beam structure.
  5. Portable. Very easy to disassemble and reassemble to relocate structure on demand, although lightweight enough to be picked up and moved by four people without disassembling for short distances.
  6. Visually Beautiful. Nothing looks more elegant that a post and beam structure; and being so affordable puts this elegant structure within reach of the average American. Anyone would be proud to have such a structure that might only be enjoyed by the more affluent.
  7. Upgradeable. By upgrading to the wide variety of tarps that are available in the market today, end users can enjoy a breadth of features. Other upgrades could include other surface materials besides tarps, for added strength and visual impact.
  8. Versatile. The Sing Post and Beam structure can also be used as a large greenhouse, or by using clear tarps could provide environmental shelter and/or reducing wind chill factor in extreme cold regions.
  9. Affordable. A Sing Post and Beam structure costs less than the traditional steel pipe system.
  10. Made in the USA. All Sing Panels, Posts and Beams are proudly manufactured here in McCleary, Washington.

Sing Tiny Houses are structurally superior to traditional 2” x 6” framed structures because the glue we use for the sandwich panels covers the entire surface area and creates a stronger bond than nails ever could.

This means your Tiny House will be structurally sound and perfectly smooth. After years of expansion and contraction, nails settle, cracking your timber. The structural glue used with Sing Panels will not settle and cause warping over years. Help us to preserve the environment by using high quality, long lasting Sing Panels.

Celina Dill Tiny House Blog

“Learning about Sing Panels completely changed the way I look at building.”

— Celina Dill, Tiny House Blogger

See pictures at her blog and in our gallery.

Yes, Sing Core does make the best reinforced structural insulated panels (RSIP) for use in Tiny House applications as walls, floors, ceilings and roofs. We have a huge desire to support the tiny house industry but be aware that we only offer Sing Panels for tiny house construction to professional distribution channels. Since we offer no support for our products (besides what is readily available via our web site). Our operation is not setup to sell our products to people in need of retail customer service. We suggest that you seek answers to any questions about how to use Sing panels by consulting with your engineer, architect, builder or contractor.

Note: We do occasionally offer products direct to the do it yourselfer, like Tiny House panel Kits or Tiny House Surplus Panels. Though we may provide you with the materials, we offer no how-to support to the DIY enthusiast except that which is available via our Tiny House FAQ (frequently asked questions) and other online resources.
