Built with thin wall portal construction methods using quality ply and LVL, the Handy Hut is a strong, warm and fully-transportable building.

We build every Handy Hut kitset individually by hand in our Wairarapa workshop.


Why We Build The Handy Hut Like This

Thin wall ply portal construction maximises floor space yet remains very strong and resilient to bumps, jolts and high wind speeds.
The inherent strength of the Handy Hut design allows for customisation of door and window sizes and placement.
The materials we use render the Handy Hut easily transportable, allowing simple relocation to a new site.
Permanent, strong materials increase the Handy Hut's re-sale potential.
We wanted it to be warm, so the standard unit is insulated to these specifications - floor R1.4; walls R2.2; ceilings R2.5.
Plywood and LVL (laminated veneer lumber) provide a very strong yet light-weight buiding when compared to standard construction materials.
