GEN Global Ecovillage Network Europe: Home reciframes Below are lots of words and pictures attempting to show you how to build a reciprocal frame. I have finally got it together, with the indispensable partnership of Helen Iles of Undercurrents, to make a video that should explain things a bit better. Click on here for the May 2012 Living in the Future video on Reciframes. This is the basis of an article published in Permaculture Magazine issue no.59, 2009. (But be warned ` the writing makes it sound much too complicated and we have simplified the marking on each rafter so this is obsolete really except for minor stuff. I didn't build my first low impact funky structure till I was over 40. The term 'reciprocal frame' was coined by Graham Brown of Findhorn in about 1987, so it hasn't been around for very long. You can use a reciframe to roof over a structure of any shape. Walls You need something strong to put your roof on. First, the weather.
