Tilton, NH – January, 2011 – The smaller sizes of the custom post and beam barns and buildings offered by leading DIY kit building manufacturer, Shelter-Kit, Inc. (www.shelter-kit.com), provide their customers with substantially more benefits than the average pre-built shed sold at many big-box home and garden retailers. Known for over 40 years for their exceptional quality, Shelter-Kit’s small buildings are remarkably versatile, both in aesthetic appearance, and in function, as they can be used for storage, workshops, barns, pool houses, garages, garden sheds and hobby spaces.
Typically, the pre-built structures offered en masse at big box centers and elsewhere are limited by standard designs and lower-quality wood-based, plastic and/or aluminum materials. On the contrary, Shelter-Kit’s customizable barn-style buildings start with a compact 16’x 16’ and are available in larger sizes, up to 36’ wide. They are created individually for each customer with high quality wood materials and hardware (of substantially better quality than what is found in most “standard” sheds).
As with all Shelter-Kit products, each of these small buildings are produced as a pre-cut kit specifically designed to be assembled by amateurs. Shelter-Kit buildings have the flexibility to be built in tight or remote locations, which is not the case with most pre-assembled sheds and cabins. Shelter-Kit was founded in 1970 with the goal of designing and producing buildings primarily for assembly by customers with no prior building experience. The first was a “Unit One” cabin, and from there, the company expanded into the modular and expandable “Lofthouse”, then on to barn and garage kits, and Barn-House and Green Home kits (all the kits come with the necessary materials to build a complete, weather-tight shell). Shelter-Kit products are designed to be buttoned up quickly and easily – they can be assembled by only two people in 3 -15 days, depending upon the size of the structure.
