A tiny house gives you a complete home in a small footprint: living area, kitchen, bathroom and bed in one body. The choice can look simple, but settling a few points first helps you pick a house you will be happy with for years.
1. Length: where does each metre go?
A tiny house's width is limited so it can be towed on the road; the models differ in length. Our models are 2.55 m wide:
| Model | Length | Area | Guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| T65 | 6.5 m | 16.5 m² | 2 |
| T75 | 7.5 m | 19 m² | 2–3 |
| T75 Loft | 7.5 m | 19 m² + 6 m² loft | 2–4 |
| T90 Loft | 9 m | 23 m² + 8 m² loft | 4–6 |
A short house reaches narrow plots and steep roads more easily; a longer one leaves more room for living and cooking.
2. Loft or single level?
A loft moves the bed upstairs and leaves a generous sitting area below: more usable space for the same length. In return, you reach the loft by ladder or stairs. Single-level models are more comfortable for older owners or anyone who would rather skip the climb.
Ask yourself: would climbing up to bed every night bother you?
3. Where will the house stand?
If the house will go on your own land, ask your municipality about the land's zoning and the rules for placing a tiny house. Rules can differ by province and by plot.
Also think about:
- Where will electricity, water and waste water come from?
- Will the house sit on level ground, or does the ground need preparing?
- Which way will the long side and the windows face?
4. The road: can the house reach the plot?
The house is towed into place. The width, slope and bends of the road to your plot decide which length can get there comfortably. Share the location when you ask for a quote, and we will look at the road together.
5. Paperwork and warranty
Alf Tiny House homes are registered, carry their own licence plates and come with a 2-year warranty. Before you buy from anyone, ask which documents come with the house.
6. Year-round use and delivery time
Whether you will use the house only in summer or all year decides the insulation, heating and fit-out. If you plan to live in it year-round, tell us at the start so we plan the fit-out for it.
Your house is delivered 35 days after the order. If you have a target date, such as a move or a season opening, preparing the ground and connections in parallel saves time.
