24×40 Modular Cabin Shell for under $50,000

24×40 Modular Cabin Shell for under $50,000

This is such a great idea! It is sort of two of the shed type cabins that are put together onsite. That way, instead of only 12 or so feet wide, they are a full 24 feet wide, which is so much more practical to work with!

When made with two 40-foot long segments, you have a 960 square foot shell that you can arrange inside any way you want.

The two sections are made inside a warehouse, so they are not exposed to the elements as they are built.

Here is one side under construction. The use standard materials, 16 on center 2x4s and 3/4″ tongue and groove plywood subfloor.

Each section is 12-feet wide and up to 40 feet long.

This one is 40 feet long on each side. You can choose other lengths.

Each side is completed in the warehouse, then joined on location.

Here is the other side, being built in a warehouse.

The buildings are constructed with 2×4 16″ on center walls, ceiling trusses and floor joists with 3/4″ T&G plywood subfloor

Once the two sides are completed, they are clad in half-log siding, so they look like log cabins.

Using two sections creates a practical 960 square foot shell that can be finished inside any way you want.

This is the other side. The two sides can be transported to your location, then assembled onsite. You can add options and I think I would opt for another door.

This makes a normal looking cabin.

Metal roof and two dormer windows

The one they are selling for $49,050 has two dormer windows, 8 other windows, wood door and green metal roof.

Two 12′ wide sections are joined together.

Here is a closer look. Doesn’t it look like it is actually made of logs, not just log siding?

There are other options available, so you can design something that will work for you.

This single 12′ cabin with log siding has a front porch, metal roof and dormer window.

For example, you can add a porch, like this smaller modular cabin.
