Bunkies

Bunkie builder in Peterborough County

Room for the guests, the kids or the overflow: a bunkie built on your property, to suit your lot, not a kit off a truck. Framed and finished on site by our own crew.

We call back the same day.

Bunkies we build

  • Cottage bunkies

    A sleeping cabin a short walk from the cottage.

  • Backyard bunkies

    A guest room, a studio or a quiet office at the back of the lot.

  • Bunkies with lofts

    More beds on the same footprint.

  • Insulated bunkies

    For the spring and fall weekends, not just July and August.

  • Sleeping bunkies

    Beds, a window that opens, and a door that closes.

  • Storage bunkies

    For the gear, the cushions and everything the cottage has no room for.

  • Custom bunkies

    Your size, your roof line, your windows and finishes inside.

  • Waterfront bunkies

    Placed and built for a lot near the water.

Built on your lot, not delivered

A kit gets you a shape. We frame the floor, the walls and the roof on your property, on footings that suit the ground, and finish it the way you want inside.

Framing is the part of the job we like best, and it shows in a small building.

Before you settle on a size

Whether a bunkie needs a building permit depends on its size and on your township, and so does how close it can sit to the lot line. It is worth checking with the township before you pick a size.

On a waterfront lot, the conservation authority may have its own rules about how close to the shoreline you can build.
