ADVANTAGES OF

OUR KITS

Why should you purchase a DIY home kit from Shelter Kit? Working with us offers you many advantages.

Home framing

WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

  • We design  pre-cut DIY home kits primarily for people with no prior building experience.

  • We continuously refine our instructions and kit details to make every project more efficient. You will receive illustrated instructions and assistance to ensure your project is successful.

  • We are here to support you before, during, and after your building project.

  • They are easy to assemble and error-free. The required construction techniques are easy and all joints are designed for an easy fit.

  • All the terms in our instructions are easy to understand. We provide drawings and step-by-step instructions, instead of difficult-to-read blueprints.

  • Our kit will complete a weather-tight shell (except doors and windows.)

  • All of our materials are selected for quality and ease of assembly and fit.

The weight of each piece is limited to what two individuals can handle. The kits are made of individual pieces, and are not “panelized." No cranes or lifts are required.

*Siding is not pre-cut.

OUR KITS ARE PRE-CUT* AND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR OWNER ASSEMBLY. THEY ARE UNLIKE OTHER KITS, FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

Dimensional lumber

Each piece of lumber is selected to be sure it's square and true, making your Shelter-Kit® as easy as possible to construct.

WE ONLY USE HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS.

​Any of our Shelter-Kit®  designs can be modified to meet your requirements. This includes changing a building’s size or style and adding dormers, loft floor openings, tees, or ells.

OUR DESIGNS CAN BE ADAPTED TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.
