Garage/Apartment Plans
What's included in a kit?
Shelter-Kit® buildings include all of the materials required to construct a weather tight shell on your foundation: hardware, fasteners*, framing and sheathing for walls, loft floors and roof, siding and exterior trim, roofing, flashing, drip edge and underlayments. Our kits do not include windows and doors. All materials are hand selected, carefully cut to precise dimensions, labeled, and packaged in easily identifiable bundles. We do not cut clapboard, or other horizontal siding. An illustrated Construction Manual describes each step, from the installation of the sills to the roof, all in simple, easy-to-understand language. Depending on the kit, options include stairs, dormers, loft floor openings, porches and decks and a variety of trim and soffits. We will gladly work with you on the design of your kit.
*Common nails for framing, sheathing, siding and trim are not included with the kit. If you choose to use hammers to drive all of the nails we can provide bulk common nails, however, we recommend you use pneumatic nailers to drive the nails. We can provide a list of sizes, types and quantities required that you must purchase separately for the nailers that you are using.
