Bunkie Kits Ontario
Do you need extra space? A bunkie kit is an easier way to build a cottage bunkie, backyard bunkie, outdoor office or anything you can imagine with extra space.
Windows bring in a lot of natural light, there is a large main area, some models have a loft, and your new space takes only 1-2 days to build. No building permit is required in Ontario.
We purchased our first bunkie in 2015. We loved it so much, we now own four. Next, we researched the market and found the best bunkie kits for the most reasonable price. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
