Modern Cabins

Kanga Modern Prefab Cabins are designed to be placed in the country or in areas where there will be no inspections required by a local building authority. Depending on the chosen site, the modern cabin can be trucked in nearly fully assembled and require minimal onsite time. 


Pricing 

Pricing for prefab modern cabin kits can vary depending on the options that are chosen, such as flooring type, number of windows, decks, porches, etc.

Next to each plan you will see an average modern cabin cost.


Features

Modern Cabins are available as shell kits, installed shells (Texas only) and turnkey buildings (Texas only). 

Shell kits consist of the exterior material building; the Kanga Modern Cabin will look complete from the exterior upon local install completion, with only the pine tongue-and-groove ceiling cover, exposed studs and interior wall framing on the inside.

Installed shells are essentially the shell kit installed by Kanga Room Systems in Texas.

Turnkey buildings are move-in ready homes that are completely finished on the inside and out with electrical, plumbing, and fixtures. Please note that Kanga Rooms does not provide kitchen appliances.

Kit Information

Modern Cabin kits are available for DIYers in Texas and most other states, though some limitations apply. Most of our kit customers choose to have local contractors assemble their Kanga homes.          

All kits include pre-framed walls, panelized roof material (rafters, decking, Galvalume metal roof cover, flashing and insulation), our standard pine tongue-and-groove ceiling cover, lap siding, house wrap, optional interior wall framing — for bathroom, bedroom and closets — and windows and doors to your specs. Everything in the kit is pre-cut and panelized, except the siding, and ready for a speedy onsite install.  

Due to the stick-built nature of our prefabbed product, all electrical wiring, plumbing and painting must be completed onsite by you or your contractor. We are able to send the majority of the material for the buildings — such as the skid/pier and beam foundation platform, decking, wall cover, flooring, light fixtures, bathroom vanities and HVAC wall unit — but it is usually more cost effective for you to buy those materials locally. 

Please note that typically we don’t send foundation or deck material with the kits, as it’s far more time- and cost-efficient for you to complete it while we prepare your kit for shipping.
