Website Owner
Welcome to my homemade website. I very much enjoy conventional and unconventional building systems designed to provide shelter for humans. I like to study the different possibilities that other people invent. I use this page to collect different websites featuring conventional and alternative building ideas — prefab and portable building designs are dominant here. And some of these designs here are not necessarily new or the latest but still serve as a reminder of a possible alternative. For the most part, everything i present here is hopefully available for purchase or use by the widest audience possible. I do not like to include items which are so localized that only a few people can access them. This is not an art gallery. Included are the most ugly and practical to the most elegant and beautiful. I hope you enjoy your visit here.

I have removed the underlining normally associated with a link to another website. Please "mouseover" any name or title to see if it is an active link. If you would like to open up a link in a new tab or window - push and hold down the "Ctrl" button and left click on the link you want to open. Otherwise, all links will open in the same viewing window. Use your "Back" or "Backspace" button or right click menu to return to the previous page. I like using the web browser:
“Google Chrome” and all my websites look and work best in the Chrome browser.

SPECIAL NOTE: 10-10-09. I am always working on this website 6 days a week. I have recently changed the file designation on all the sub-folders; so if you have bookmarked any of these sub-folders previously - I have added a "re-direct" page. After you are re-directed to the correct page, please bookmark it for future reference (but best to bookmark main page: www.shedandshelter.com). Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

All Kinds of Building Systems

  • Sponsored Links...
  • Synthetic Covered Dome Domes using Synthetic Fabric or Canvas for Covering • This section specializes in online businesses that sell materials and kits for the retail consumer. Available are dome kits and accessories. Also included is access to sites which show you how to build your own dome structures or framework, like for example out of bamboo sticks, pvc plastic pipe, electrical metal tubing (EMT) & other material. This section also presents the lowest cost options for building portable dome structures useful to the individual or for group use such as at events like Burningman.
  • Starplate Top Side Metal Connector Systems for Building Sheds and Shelters • This section specializes in online businesses that sell metal frame member connector systems mostly used to attach standard lumber sizes (2X6, 2X4, 2X3, 2X2, 1X2 inch) together to make either dome like frames or conventional box type frame shapes. Using these connectors should theoretically make your building project go up faster and stronger.
  • Tri-Panel Dome Geodesic & Airform Dome Homes • Includes both Prefab Kit & Owner Built. This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated geodesic dome kits or geodesic dome home systems, plus other owner/builder dome building information. I need to make a distinction here. In this page is grouped together geodesic domes (i.e. domes using triangle shapes as structural framework) and airform domes which use an inflated rubber bladder that is coated with some kind of stucco like material and allowed to dry to produce a shell to be finished with other material and procedures. Big difference. Two very different types of building process, but both called dome building. For right now i will keep them both together. But just wanted to let you know that there are two very different dome systems being shown here.
  • Cabin Tent Cabin & Wall Tents • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated cabin and wall tents. Some of these also include tipis or other native type dwellings. Also included are family camping tents, tents that are freestanding and large enough for 8 to 12 people, but usually cannot accommodate a wood burning stove.
  • Indian Tipi Tipis | Tepees | Teepees — Indian Style Tents • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated tipis and sometimes other tent systems. I try and list only tipi makers that make tipis suitable for year round living, tipis that a person could live in full time if they so desire. I try to stay away from "historical reproduction tents" made for historical re-enactors and collectors, unless they are also suitable for full time use.
  • Mongolian Yurt Yurts & Everything About Yurts • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated yurt systems. Lots of different designs and material used for finishing the walls, etc. Wall covering ranges from cotton canvas to fiberglass to wood. Some yurts made to be portable and some built as permanent structures.
  • Compact House Prefab Compact Homes • Portable & Non-Portable. This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated small and some not so small houses or cabins; some on wheels and some not. Sizes can range from 96 sq.ft.(8'X12') to 400 sq.ft. (20'X20'). Some may be a little bigger. Sheathing almost always made from either wood, steel or some form of plastic. Contents inside are organized into "parts" to make loading easier for those on dial-up internet connection. Be sure to visit Parts 2 & 3 - links near page bottom, right side.
  • Cabin building plan Plans for Sale • Cabin, Home & Shed and Do-It-Yourself Guides. This section specializes in online businesses that sell shed and cabin building plans with emphasis on small to medium size units. Also included are plans for dome building or any other irregular shaped building. And also included are do-it-yourself websites that offer free advice or instructions on building a particular type of building like a shed, home office or cabin, etc.
  • Log Cabin Log Cabins & Precut Logs • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated log cabins and precut & grooved logs. This is probably the best way to go for a modern person desiring a log cabin to live in.
  • Home Office Backyard Home Offices, Studios & Retreats • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated home office, retreat, studio type buildings. Most of these type of structures are slightly different than a common shed in that the use of glass and a more finished interior with nice paneling is applied throughout. They resemble a stand alone office space you might find downtown at the mall.
  • Shipping Container Shipping Containers • Also called Conex Boxes but the official name is "ISO Transport" and becoming more popular used as Homes and Personal Storage. This section specializes in online businesses that design structures using these containers or they sell seagoing shipping containers which are in great supply i understand. Some people call them "Storage Containers". This is a home or cabin conversion method which has experienced rapid worldwide growth because of the availability and low cost of these containers. Be sure to visit Part 2 - link near page bottom, right side.
  • Metal Shed Prefab Metal Sheds • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated freestanding metal sheds or kits. Arrow Sheds is one of the most common and famous purveyors of metal sheds.
  • Poly Shed Prefab Plastic Sheds • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated freestanding polyethylene or resin sheds. Also included are Vinyl Sheds or storage buildings. Vinyl is different than Polyethylene. Vinyl is actually PVC (polyvinylchloride) same plastic used in making the very common pvc water pipe.
  • Wood Shed Prefab Wood Sheds • This section specializes in online businesses that sell prefabricated freestanding wood or wood product sheds & kits. Wood siding might be made of Cedar siding, T1-11 siding or sanded plywood.
  • G-Wood House Irregular Shaped Shelter Systems & Design • This section specializes in online businesses or designs that use non-traditional odd shapes for construction. Included are individuals who have invented unique design structures which can be copied by anyone for their own personal use. Some of these shelters listed here are what i call "personal shelters" great for one or two people in a camping situation.
  • Insulated Foam Panels Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) • This section specializes in online businesses that sell wood panel (OSB) sandwiches with polystyrene or some type of foam as the core called SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). I use the term "Insulated Foam Panel" which to me is the same.
  • Electrical Fires Book Electrical Fires and Their Causes • This is a book the author has entrusted me to sell online. I have sold a number of these books online and no one has complained yet that it was not worth it. This is a book written by Rudy A. Medina for use by those working in the fire investigation field, attorneys, fire service, firefighters, electricians, electrical contractors, insurance adjusters, criminal fire investigators, & fire prevention personnel. Written in easy to understand language. 99 pages. In Stock. Ships from CA, United States. Shipped to buyer in new bubble pack bag. Expedited shipping available. International shipping available. This book has not made Oprah's book of the month club yet, but with your purchase it brings it closer to that reality. I have the book listed on Amazon.com for $18.95 plus shipping cost of $3.99. My seller name is "messtime". It is also available on eBay's "half.com" website for the same price. My eBay seller name is "slowsales".
