Made by a steel manufacturer

We’re not a cabin brand with a supplier. We are the supplier — a Manchester steel plant that decided to build the whole cabin.

Metal Tiny Homes is the cabin side of a steel manufacturer that supplies the UK construction trade. The same lines that press roof sheets and composite panels for the trade press every panel of every cabin.

Wash it down now and then — that’s it.No staining, no treating, no rot. Pests have nothing to chew.
