Bunkie Kits

Most of our bunkies are in one package, approximately 14-16′ longx 4′ wide x 3.5′ high and weigh 2500-4100 lbs.

Our larger loft kits (Sprucewood, Hideaway with Loft or Rockwood with Loft) are in 2 separate packages within the same dimensions mentioned. Check out your specific kit dimensions and weight here.

There are many ways to receive your bunkie, but most clients prefer to have the kit delivered directly to their address they plan to build on. We will cover more of what that looks like, based on area below!

Overview of Shipping Areas

Delivery Within Ontario

Group Delivery

For this delivery method, we group deliveries by area and will load 4-6 clients’ bunkie orders per truck. In peak season (Spring & Summer), we run 1-2 trucks per day.

The cost on this type of delivery is split between several clients. It comes delivered on a 42′ flatbed truck equipped with a Moffett to make offloading easy and get it as close as safely possible to your preferred location. Deliveries arrive between 7am-7pm on the scheduled date.

This option requires flexibility on the date and time it arrives to you. We do base the date on the ideal and latest delivery timeline that you’ve shared with us. You would be given a minimum of 2 weeks notice for your delivery date.

Private Delivery

This delivery option allows us to select a specific date and time for delivery. We generally recommend this method for hard-to-access locations, difficult terrain, marina/water access, gated deliveries, or if you just really want to have a specific date and time planned.

Your bunkie will arrive on a trailer equipped with tilt function for offloading.

In lower volumes seasons, we can offer private delivery with Moffett for larger orders (2+ Kits). The cost for this will be higher then the typical private delivery

Water Access Properties- Canada

Is your Property Water - Access only? Is there a Ferry that runs to your location frequently?

If yes,

Ontario – We suggest private delivery and we would charge an additional fee for the ferry.
Outside of Ontario, Within Canada – Additional fees for the ferry ride and time would be applicable

If no,

You likely require a boat or barge to access your property. For this type of delivery, you would manage the “final mile” on your boat or a booked barge. Some clients will work with a marina or barging company who can help with the logistics of the delivery from Bunkie Life to your location. If the barge/marina or general drop location has off loading equipment, let us know!

Ontario – We suggest private delivery for date/time specific deliveries. If you are open to the kit arriving at the delivery location and then arranging the barge from there, group delivery would be applicable.

Outside of Ontario, Within Canada -You’ll know the timeline of your kit’s arrival 2 weeks before, we can book a date-specific delivery within 10 days from the day it arrives.

Please note: When barge bookings and/or boating pieces are being used, this may require our clients to handload the kit. In this circumstance, please ensure that we know when you’ve booked a date so we can coordinate appropriately.

Pick up in Ontario

This option has a $50 loading fee and does have specific trailer requirements in order for us to be able to load a kit right onto your trailer.

Most of our bunkies are in one package, approximately 14-16′ long x 4′ wide x 3.5′ high and weigh 2500 – 4100 lbs. Our larger loft kits (Spruce wood, Hideaway with Loft or Rockwood with Loft) are in 2 separate packages within the same dimensions mentioned. Check out your specific kit dimensions and weight here.

You would need a double axle trailer capable of carrying the weight of your bunkie(s)

To allow us to load the bunkie kit onto a trailer, it needs to be a true flatbed with no wheel wells protruding up past the bed height and any walls of the trailer need to be removable. See photo example of ideal trailer style.

Securing the load for safety will be the responsibility of the client

If your trailer is not a true flatbed you can still pick up, you will just need to open the pallet and ‘handbomb’ the pieces. All bunkie wrap, straps, etc will need to be removed with the bunkie and cannot be left on site.

If hand-bombing, please note that the time it takes to complete will range based on your size of kit and how many hands you bring to help. Our team is not able to assist in the handloading process.

We recommend looking at United Rentals for sourcing the correct trailer for your pick-up.

How it works

We work with 14 depots across Canada. For out of province delivery we will start by shipping a full truckload, including your kit to the depot that is located closest to it’s final destination. The cost of this truck is shared amongst all clients. From there, pick up or delivery is available. We can quote you based on your preference.

Timelines of the full or partial trucks are based on volume of that particular location. For our Canadian locations, peak shipping time is Spring and Summer.

Medium – High Volume (3+ Trucks): All BC Locations, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Dartmouth (NS), Harcourt (NB), Quebec

FAQ Delivery

We’d love to review your address with you! We can definitely still deliver to you, but we may only be able to reach where it is safely possible to get to. Sometimes, we can send smaller trucks into your location, as long as there is space for them to turn around.

Ontario – We often recommend private delivery for this, or we may be able to specify at 4-way Moffett with grouped delivery.

Canada (Outside of Ontario) or USA– Our drivers will get your package as close as safely possible with using the equipment options available. We can review your location together to determine any issues and connect you with the driver specifically to come up with a plan.

We do not offer building services, but when clients share recommended contractors in their area – we add them to a list to share! We are not affiliated with these contractors, and the relationship must be between you and them. If you have a great or bad experience, you can let us know so we can keep the list as honest as possible!

Ontario Group or Private Delivery – No, you do not. But we do like to have you accessible by phone should the driver have any questions. Most clients prefer to be there that day!

Canada, Outside of Ontario -Yes, ideally you are but may vary based on location.

USA -Yes, you do have to be on-site for delivery.

The delivery fee is added to your final invoice, which is due 1 week prior to delivery.

Our kits are wrapped for water resistance, but to maintain your warranty, we recommend building within 30 days of delivery.

If you’re not planning to start right away, it’s best to keep the kit elevated to prevent direct contact with the ground. You can use patio stones, lumber, or a simple platform to lift it off the surface. For added protection, covering the kit with a securely fastened tarp is a great option. If your kit will sit unassembled for a prolonged period of time indoor storage is worth considering, or aligning your delivery date closer to your date of assembly. Please inquire with our concierge team if your ideal timeline needs to be adjusted: [email protected]
