Bunkie Kits Ontario
Do you need extra space? A bunkie is a perfect solution. Whether it be at your cottage or home, our pre-cut log cabin bunkie kit can be assembled in 1-2 days and will provide you with 108 square feet of living space. It’s easier to assemble (than building from scratch) and it comes with all the necessary hardware needed to put it together.
These bunkies are ideal for a cottage bunkie, backyard bunkie, home office, studio or anything you need extra space for. We provide instructions to build it yourself or we can install it for you. No building permit is required in Ontario or BC (but we always recommend to check with your municipality).
We built our first bunkie in 2015. We loved it so much, we built five more. Now, we build the best bunkie kits for the most reasonable price. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
