Steel framing systems are an innovative and smarter way to build a tiny home. Up to 50% lighter than timber, steel frames allow you to achieve more for your tiny home build. The strength to weight ratio of steel means you can build a bigger tiny home while still meeting the 4.5t towing weight restriction regulated on Australia roads.
Steel is also stronger, more precise, and more sustainable than timber. This strength ensures your build is durable and lasts for years to come. It’s precision engineering ensures that your frames aren’t impacted by shifting grounds or vibrations occurring during transportation. And its sustainability ensures that over its lifetime, it has a low impact on the environment and can help you reduce the ongoing running costs of your tiny home.
At Metframe Australia, we can custom make your tiny home steel frames to your exact specifications, or you can choose from our extensive range of off-the-shelf frames. Either option can be quicker and more affordable than timber. You can also use steel for all your framing needs including your roofs, walls and floors.
You can also choose to have the frames pre-assembled and delivered to you or receive them in a kit form which you can assemble yourself. We offer the option of installing the frames onto your tiny home trailer too, you just need to bring us your trailer.
