The Ultimate – Tiny House Foundation
By Your Request – The Best Tiny House Trailer Plans! These purpose-built blueprints create a strong, engineered Foundation for your Tiny Home. Don’t settle for trailers meant for other uses – start with a design made specifically for the needs of a Tiny House.
The trailer has a strong perimeter to support walls, an I‑Beam frame for high strength, and an integrated floor for a low deck and more vertical space inside. Choose the 20′ Trailer, the 24′ Trailer, or the not-so-tiny 32′ Trailer – Or, go wide with our 10′ Wide, or the 12′ Wide plans.
Explore the design detail of a solid foundation, or read the engineering case study. Then, download the plans and start your build.
