Bunkie Kits Ontario
Do you need extra space? A bunkie is a perfect solution. Whether it be at your cottage or home, our 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.
Our bunkie kits 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 manufacture the best bunkie kits for the most reasonable price. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Bunkie?
A bunkie is a small cabin that adds extra space to your property. Most of our bunkies are under 108 sq. ft. so they don't require a building permit. All the wood in the bunkie kit is precut and sized so you don't have to worry about measuring and cutting it.
Why Build Bunkie?
Bunkies under 108 sq ft give you the extra space you need on your property without requiring a building permit. Clients have purchased bunkies for many reasons: build extra space for guests at your home or cottage, a home office, an escape on your property, a perfect view of the lake, an art studio or a private space to enjoy your property.
You could also turn a bunkie into an Airbnb to earn money, or have a man cave or a she shed or that special place you've always wanted.
Why buy a Bunkie kit?
A bunkie kit will save you time, energy and money. Purchasing all the components of a kit means you do not have to measure and cut each piece individually, or worry if everything is going to line up. You can build the bunkie in one weekend and start enjoying it right away.
What Is Included?
All bunkie kits include:
- Wooden logs, door & trim made from Nordic Spruce; an attractive, high-quality softwood for durable construction
