Barn Building Kit

 

Build your own cabin, house, cottage or barn with one of Shelter-Kit's easy prefab buildings.

 

Shelter-Kit Incorporated has been designing and manufacturing high quality buildings since 1970. All of their buildings are sold as pre-cut kits, all are specifically designed for assembly by owner-builders, all use post and beam framing systems that encourage a wide variety of owner-inspired floor plans and permit almost unlimited door and window placement.

At Shelter-Kit, they will work with you on designing your building, they will help you obtain a building permit, they will arrange shipping anywhere, and they will be available to answer your questions before, during, and after construction.  

Their cabin, home and barn kits include all the materials you'll need to build a complete, weather tight shell, including the frame, siding, sheathing, hardware, roofing and sub floors. The kits are precut and predrilled, making them easy to assemble, in 3 to 15 days for most models. All materials are selected for quality and ease of assembly and fit, with the weight of each piece limited to what two individuals can handle.

Each building comes with a detailed Construction Manual that's easy enough for amateurs to understand. The manual includes drawings and step-by-step instructions, specifically created for each customer’s kit. Your kit can be customized to meet your individual requirements. Options include building size, windows and doors, stairs, dormers, ceiling heights, cathedral ceilings and more.

Their Green Home kit was created in response to many requests for a kit that can be a major part of a complete green home project, and can be owner-built. The Green Home kit uses features, designs and materials that will gain points towards certification of your whole building project to the National Green Building Standard.

Shelter-Kit ships their kits all 50 states, Canada and internationally.
