Dimensions on #1 36ft×7ft×7.5ft = 252sqft and 7.5ft high (Standard measurement format is Length×Width×Height) For future reference, very easy to calculate: Square Feet = Length feet × Width feet If product is showing inches, divide the inch measurement by 12 to get the feet measurement (12in = 1ft) Example: "120×120×96 inches" 10ft by 10ft and 8ft tall 10x10= 100sqft (If you do the math for this structure it comes out a few inches larger than what I said, but that's listed as "Product Dimensions" which means measured from the outside, and we don't know the exact thickness of wall/ceiling/floor so you have to shave a little off to estimate the actual interior space)

This would be the perfect greenhouse area and like I said I would use it for a seed starting around the windows face and the center will be all of my house plants and a big huge sink and potting area and of course tons of shelves and bins for supplies. Of course unless you spend a ton of money greenhouses can come down in a big rain or a snowfall. This one would be much more durable. And if you go with a high tunnel, the plastic would have to be replaced every few years. Also if you don't have proper ventilation in a high tunnel you'll fry your plant babies!!

That is the problem. Tiny homes are more like RVs than stick-built houses, in that they almost always decrease in price over time. It’s the land underneath a house that makes them increase in price over a few decades. And there is footage of the “hospital” China supposedly built in 10 days…….after a few months of use. (They were actually quarantine barracks, not an actual Western-style hospital). The quarantine barracks were built pre-fab buildings meant to be constructed quickly, and the footage shows water pouring in the roof when it rains overflowing toilets, people saying the buildings are poorly insulated so hot in summer and cold in winter, etc.

And these tiny homes are like RVs….not like a stick built house….in that they only depreciate over time, unless you own the land underneath it. It is the land underneath homes that causes them to increase in price over decades.

You can buy a shed type tiny home from Home Depot. You can actually see it. They deliver and set it up for a fee. There is no plumbing in any of the homes you are looking at. You are buying a shell.

I like the steel one! We are on the South Oregon Coast, very WET in the winter. We have had 130mph winds for 3 days…….. Been wanting to lease out our big house & get a small one so I can retire. We have 3 acres in the county, not city. We’ve cleared a half acre spot…… I need to go talk to the County…….I was gonna buy an Old Hickory shed to my specs at 32x12 they want$32k. But I like the idea of the steel, & I can design it……..😁👍🏻

If the house is listed "flat pack" it's not pre built. You have to assemble. It may come with all the listed parts. But not pre-built. The errors in the text descriptions are not scammers misspelling. They are translation errors from Chinese to English. The description headers may use terms correctly, just not American terms. They are selling to other countries who may not have the same rules as the US when using the term "modular" for example.

Right? I completely agree! Something has to be wrong. That's the weight of just a few humans. Something was fishy about the first house.

If you're actually serious about buying one for land owners to test out, we have a family cabin property in Manitoba Canada for #5 (maybe #3). Ideal for snow load testing, winterizing testing. We know engineers that would figure things out for fun. My brother owns a flat roofing company, which would make him uniquely positioned to beef it up as necessary. My sons do sewer and water hook up for a living, so they'd be well suited to weigh in on how well it lends itself to that (with one of my sons also owning a water treatment company so plumbing it in is no problem).

Wow. What a generous offer! Canada would be a bit of travel for me as I am in Louisiana.

My sister lived in a Modular House. It’s very stable liked most normal house but low quality for the floors, kitchen cabinets and counters. It goes with the price. Over all it’s great.

Put it at my place in Alaska!!! It dumps monsoons on us all summer, snow up the kazoo all winter and wind storms all year round!!! The perfect test sight. Besides the G-kids and I could really use it for a home.

Any prejudice against backyard units needs to go. It's amoral, it's unethical and it's plain wrong. People should be able to build whatever they like on their own bought and paid for goddamn land. They just want us to force us to be bank slaves all our lives; do not kid yourself that's all it is.

#4-Mountain (RV/Traier Home) Miss Kristina, you could easily install lightweight (like aluminum) ramos along the sides when parked. Carry attach them under the trailer when traveling. We buy the ramps at hardware and sports vehicle stores. Of course folks should have some sort of guardrails ( don't know how to go about that; maybe attach handrail to house)?

Just for perspective, the 19x20 is smaller than a two-car garage. So you can go stand in a garage and imagine something several feet smaller. A garage is typically about 22 ft.

The reason for the bad wording and misspellings is because they're coming from China and they used a translator. It's the same on anything you buy from China like the instructions.

Glad you are showing all of these... the problem with the first one is all the glass... and can you imagine how hot or cold it could get?? seems more like a place to grow plants....instead...
