ADVANTAGES OF

OUR KITS

Why should you purchase a DIY home kit from Shelter Kit? Working with us offers you many advantages.

Home framing

WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 55 YEARS.

  • We design  pre-cut DIY home kits primarily for people with no prior building experience.

​

  • We continuously refine our instructions and kit details to make every project more efficient. You will receive illustrated instructions and assistance to ensure your project is successful.

​

  • We are here to support you before, during, and after your building project.

OUR KITS ARE PRE-CUT* AND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR OWNER ASSEMBLY. THEY ARE UNLIKE OTHER KITS, FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

  • They are easy to assemble and error-free. The required construction techniques are easy and all joints are designed for an easy fit.

​

  • All the terms in our instructions are easy to understand. We provide drawings and step-by-step instructions, instead of difficult-to-read blueprints.

​

  • Our kit will complete a weather-tight shell (except doors and windows.)

​

  • All of our materials are selected for quality and ease of assembly and fit.

​

The weight of each piece is limited to what two individuals can handle. The kits are made of individual pieces, and are not “panelized." No cranes or lifts are required.

​

*Siding is not pre-cut.

Dimensional lumber

WE ONLY USE HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS.

Each piece of lumber is selected to be sure it's square and true, making your Shelter-Kit® as easy as possible to construct.

OUR DESIGNS CAN BE ADAPTED TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.

​Any of our Shelter-Kit®  designs can be modified to meet your requirements. This includes changing a building’s size or style and adding dormers, loft floor openings, tees, or ells.
