What Can You Build With Our DIY House Kits?
A DIY A-frame kit is incredibly versatile. Depending on size and layout, you can build:
- A full-time family home
- A cozy cabin in the nature
- An income-generating guest space or rental
- A minimalist tiny home for simple living
- A recreational space - an art studio, backyard home office, or a workshop
Building a DIY house isn’t effortless — but it’s achievable. We’ve seen couples take on a DIY tiny home kit and complete their very first house. Retirees have built A-frame cabins in the mountains with a bit of help from friends. Some families have turned weekends into progress and finished beautiful backyard guest houses. Even people with limited building experience have managed to create spaces they’re truly proud of.
