The Jungle Shelters was designed with hot humid climates in mind. A pier foundation and fiber cement panel siding is standard with this shelter design package. Additional siding options are available for this design and include stucco or shiplap wood siding. Exterior walls are constructed from 2x6 studs with spray foam cavity insulation, providing superior thermal resistance to the elements. The roof construction consists of exposed beam and decking with six inches of rigid foam board insulation. A thatch roof covering will protect the rubber roof finish below from harmful UV rays while adding aesthetic appeal. Rubber roofing was chosen for its durability and affordability. Mounting solar panels on the roof of this shelter is not feasible so a pole mounted array would need to be considered. The large roof overhangs shield the facade from rainfall and also provides adequate shading of windows.
