You can now opt for a less traditional way of living with a budget-friendly tiny home.
The Portable Prefabricated Tiny Home is currently available for $6,899 from Amazon.
Measuring in at 13-feet by 20-feet, the house is fully expandable and customizable.
It can be repurposed for a variety of uses including residential living, or as a workshop or office.
The home features a sliding glass door and a “multi-window design [which] ensures a bright and inviting interior for the tiny house.”
It is constructed with a steel frame and flame-retardant foam wallboard.
According to manufacturers, the container home is prefabricated waterproof and thermally insulated.
It is also earthquake-resistant with a grade eight rating and wind-resistant at grade 10.
The home is designed to be easily and quickly folded for transportation.
It is also created for “simple assembly and disassembly” making it suitable for “frequent relocation.”
The home is equipped with full electrical wiring to USA standards, providing flexibility for customization.
Customers can customize the size, color, and configuration of their container home.
The prefab house has no accompanying staff to dismantle and install, requiring you to install it yourself.
Unloading requires the buyer to prepare a crane as the overweight means it can not be unloaded with a forklift.
This tiny house uses drywall anchors and screws through the holes on the adjustable legs for added stability.
What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
Furniture and circuits are not included in the purchase.
Product pictures show that the home can be customized with a porch.
The prefab container home has received an average rating of five stars out a five from shoppers.
One impressed customer shared their thoughts on the budget buy in the review section.
The Amazon user pointed out that the tiny home is “solving [the] housing crisis.”
