Tiny homes should also be less than 4.5 tonnes. While you can design a tiny home that weighs more, you will need oversized load permits to transport it.
Tiny homes must also be transported and parked in an appropriate fashion. To be legal, a tiny home cannot be permanently parked on the road, public land, or on a footpath. Most tiny homes are set up on private land – either in the backyard of a suburban property, or on a larger rural block.
The weight limit is usually the most challenging factor in designing a tiny home. Modinex carries an extensive range of aluminium claddings, lining, decking and details that can reduce the weight of a tiny home.

Designers often expand the living space of a tiny home by adding features such as decks. Small decks can dramatically increase the total living area, and they have very few permit requirements.
In addition to our tiny house cladding materials, Modinex also supplies aluminium and timber decking that can be used to expand the footprint of a tiny home.

While tiny homes vary widely in their size, function and design, they share several core design features:
Regulations – Tiny houses are built on road legal trailers. They lack permanent foundations and are more akin to a caravan than a freestanding house. This means they are subject to vehicle regulations, rather than construction regulations.
Size – Most tiny houses in Australia are 35sqm or less. This is due to the maximum size limits imposed on trailers. Many designers maximise the available space by installing loft or mezzanine levels.
Mobility – Tiny homes can be moved by any vehicle that can transport a large trailer. This makes it possible to establish a tiny home in areas that are difficult to access or off the grid.
Cost – Many people choose to build tiny homes to save money over a conventional build. The cost varies depending on the style of the home, its size, and the quality of finishes used.
