Amazon is selling an ‘insulated’ tiny home for $7,679

AN insulated tiny home is available on Amazon for just $7,679.

The galvanized steel structure is made by a well-known brand and ships in less than 10 days.

Amazon is selling an insulated 19 x 10 square feet building by Duramax for $7, 679.

Delivery is free, and it normally ships within 10 days.

Made with a galvanized steel frame and metal siding, the structure could be used as the base for a tiny home.

The prefabricated building comes with windows and a deadbolt locking door.

It is up to you to find a suitable foundation and to lay the flooring.

Duramax is a reputable building manufacturer from California.

Installation for this home is fast “because all of the components used to construct the prefabricated building have already been prepped at our factory,” claims the company in the product description.

“These can be used for everything from storing garden tools and accessories, to a pop-up office or hobby room, to a ‘She Shed’ or ‘Man Cave,’” Duramax suggests.

The structure has both advanced thermal and acoustic insulation. 

EXTENDABLE HOME

One of the best features of this building is its ability to extend.

Duramax sells extension kits that come in 40-inch increments and mount to either side of the home.

So it is easy to add more space, even after you have moved in.

TINY TRANSFORMATION

Although this product has many impressive features, it is not ready for full-time living as it is.

If you want to turn a prefab building or a shed into a tiny home, there are many important steps to take.

First, you’ll need to see if your local authority even allows these types of structures to be used as permanent dwellings.

Once you have the necessary permit or permissions, you’ll need to insulate it further and install a heating/cooling system.

Additional complicated steps like wiring and plumbing may require professional help.

And you’ll need to think about a suitable solution for the bathroom and kitchen.

Alternatively, there are now companies selling ready-to-go tiny homes. 

Incredible Tiny Homes has a fully equipped model for just $15,000.

And Escape makes “the most beautiful tiny homes in the world” starting at $42,000.
