prefab cabins

Factory-made shelters

Prefab cabins are small residential structures manufactured in sections at a factory, then transported and assembled on site.

The term covers everything from basic hunting shacks to modern tiny homes.

Prefab construction reduces building time and cost compared to traditional stick-built cabins: We ordered a prefab cabin kit and had it up in a weekend.
