Want To Learn How To Build Your Own Tiny Home?

Do you dream of building your own tiny home but you’re not sure how or even where to start? Not to worry, now we can teach you… at a location near you!

Tumbleweed now offers 2-day workshops packed with all the insightful and extensive information you’ll need to design and build your very own tiny home. And we’re coming to a city near you.

Skillfully presented by actual Tumbleweed home owners/builders—who happily share their stories and experiences on subjects such as choosing the appropriate trailer base, selecting materials, and the importance of using the right tools etc.—these workshops cover every aspect of tiny house building and living.

Here’s a few of the topics you'll learn about:

• How to design and build your home in the most cost effective manner and how to save money during construction.

• The 14 tools that you need to build your own tiny home.

• How you can build a house on a trailer or standard foundation.

• Detailed information on trailers; from flatbeds to utility trailers to car haulers, including standard trailer sizes and weight capacities.

• How to select the best materials and which ones to avoid.

• How to frame and sheath your home.

• Siding techniques: what works best, what materials you can use, their energy efficiency benefits, and how to apply them.

• Insulation and venting techniques and why some types of green insulation don't work in a tiny home.

• Guarding against condensation, one of the key issues with small homes.

• Roofing techniques that will ensure you properly protect your home.

• Appliances. What types of home heaters, water heaters, kitchen appliances and toilets you will need.

• Building code restrictions and zoning laws.

• Sizing: kitchen cabinetry, door sizes, shower sizes, toilet sizing and how to get more compact choices for your tiny home.

• Which jobs you can handle and when you should call in a professional.

You'll be provided with comprehensive, detailed information on tiny home building that you can't learn anywhere else—and you'll get to meet many other like-minded people in a fun and engaging setting.

At the end of the 2-days you’ll have a much better understanding of the skills needed and what it takes to design and build your very own tiny home. You'll leave feeling empowered, excited and ready to start your new Tumbleweed journey!
