The eight components are made from kraftplex sheets that have been coated in beeswax. The thin layer of wax makes sure that the rain and snow doesn‘t soak into the kraftplex. It‘s also necessary for better cohesion of the components when you put the pieces together. In many tests, we simulated the winter to perfect the necessary thickness of the materials.
