Building a Small Cabin
This is an informational page for the Building Small Cabin website.
A complete 'do-it-yourself' guide on how to plan, build and enjoy your small cabin - in simple terms. A collection of personal experience and useful resources - cabin construction, off-grid living, heating, solar power, nature and picture gallery.
The website will be useful for people who want to do the same - to build a small cabin on their own - so they will have a quiet retreat or hideaway spot to enjoy their weekend or vacation.
My main objectives when building a small cabin were:
- Easy to build yourself - no special skill required - Use of easily available building materials - Low cost - Simplicity of cabin design and structure - Short construction time - No building permit required (optional). - To have a feel of great outdoor living and wilderness experience.
