How can a half-built house be left in the weather with no issues? I’m talking about a wood frame with plastic in the rain type of thing.
In: Engineering
Basically i see 3 issues.
1. Rain will fuck up isolation materials like rockwool or the likes(styrofoam is a non issue). It takes ages to dry out and will make it lump together and be bad in general. So it cant be in direct rain for any period really. Wood can last a long time, even untreated, but mostly you use some chemicals to keep wood from rotting away. Especially the wood that is meant to be outside(outer wall) is chemically treated. Wood skeleton will not be exposed and doesnt need protection other then ventilation and a outer wall.
2. Sunlight is a factor but its a slow process for it to become problematic. Mostly in regard to plastics this could become an issue.
3. Wind can knock shit down and blow out the plastic barrier(very bad).
So in regards to seeing some wooden house with a roof and no real outer wall just maybe some sheet of fabric(dont know the english term) the house can stand like that for a long time no issues. It will get damp and have moist problems but it could still stand for a long time.
