The Penny's Tiny House maximizes the interior space on a tiny footprint. It is a simple, functional and beautiful design that allows for all the necessary amenities win a minimal space at an affordable price.
- Will Last Decades: We use thick timber construction and extensive notching and other overbuilding details so you do not have to worry about harsh weather conditions like high wind, snow, heat, cold or humid climates. Each Penny is fully insulated with a vapor barrier and built with a Mature Redwood external skin for a 20 year decay warranty. The internal framing, flooring and walls are built in Douglas-Fir and Sugar Pine for a lighter colored aromatic finish.
- Easy Design and Sizing: You will receive via email detailed drawings within 5 business days of ordering. The drawings allow you to easily see what will work and what needs adjusting. We encourage you to take your time with the drawings and add the final appliances you plan to use so you can be sure they will fit and work as planned. While we don't ship appliances or assist with them, you want to be sure your home has been designed completely, appliances and all before giving us the green light to build. Many details can be adjusted including the roof pitch, window sizing, etc. and you can add custom details as well.
- You Install or We Install?: Each tiny home is fully erected in the shop for easy re-assembly. No drilling, sanding or cutting needed. Just bolt the pieces back together. The typical Tiny Home is a 2 week reassembly and will require a concrete pad or other foundation be built ahead of time. If you are not interested in putting up the home, let us know. We can send a team anywhere in the U.S. to install for you.
- Electrical and Plumbing: Kits ship with everything you need except the final roofing. An asphalt shingle roof or a metal roof is recommended to maximize weather resistance and longevity. Tile roofs can be accomodated, but require beefing up the structure further to handle the significant extra weight.

DIMENSIONS & DRAWINGS
PLANS:All You Need is a Few Tools and a Friend.
Assembly is best done by firends. The structures need a ratchet wrench, a hammer and a ladder to put them together. In some cases, you might need a drill to attach the posts into concrete. As with all our products, we preassemble all structures in our shop to ensure everything fits together. All hardware is included and all parts are clearly labeled before it is shipped. We also include detailed step-by-step instructions.
Take a look at our assembly instructions below for specific details. If you plan to pour concrete to hold the posts, the project will require an additional half day prior to assembly. Please do the concrete pour a few days prior to assembly to allow the concrete to cure.
Installation Help.
Special talent is not required to re-assemble our pergolas. But, if you would like help, just let us know. We have our own team for installations in California, Nevada and Southern Arizona and a network of local contractors we recommend for farther afield.
Our White Glove Assembly is a complete onsite assembly and anchoring service. Our installation teams are now available in all 50 states! Know more about our Wite Glove Assembly service.
DIY: For moderately-sized structures (up to 400 sqft.), some of our customers choose to save money by doing the assembly themselves. In general, the larger the structure, the more people and time you will need: we recommend a minimum of 3 people. If you have assembly questions, just give us a call!
Care: You should expect your furniture to last outside for a minimum of 10-40 years without maintenance, even in climates with harsh year-round conditions. Because of our high quality wood, the silver patina that will naturally occur is surface deep (less than 1/64") and is not indicative of decay. We keep our display items without refinishing as examples show off their natural aging. We like the patina! If you’d like to keep your set looking its best for decades please visit: Care and Finish.
