With wheels, traditional proportioning and archetypal form, these little structures are designed to be portable and can, essentially, be sited anywhere you can park a travel trailer.* They range from about 50 to 130 sq ft. Purchase yours ready-made or buy the plans to build it yourself. These homes are stationary designs built as a main house or guest house. Most of the plans have an optional extra bedroom in back. The house sizes range from 261 sq ft up to 874 sq ft. We do not build the Cottages. They are designed to be built on site with a local contractor of your choosing.

Building FAQ

Steve N.'s Project - Day 10

Basic Building Questions

Can I build it myself?
 We sell the house plans, but they do not come with instructions. We are happy to consult with you to help the project go smoothly, but unless you are an experienced builder, we recommend you work with licensed professionals.


How long will it take to build?
 It usually takes anywhere from 550-850 hours to complete a tiny house. A lot depends on the complexity and size.


What kind of trailer do I need?
Please read this article about trailers.


Do you have any contractors you recommend?
 We have several contractors to build Tumbleweed homes across the United States.  Contact us for more information.


What about permit requirements?
We do not advise on permit requirements. They vary so much that it is impossible to know what is possible without talking to your local building department. As a general rule, buildings under 120 square feet can be added without permits (but check your local codes).
