8-foot planning
An 8-foot foundation can be a familiar starting point for conventional-width tiny-home plans. Exact road width depends on the finished build, including exterior protrusions.
PRACTICAL TRAILER GUIDE
Choosing an 8, 10 or wide tiny-house foundation
Width changes the home plan and its transportation requirements.
10-foot planning
A wider floor plan gives room for different circulation and furnishings, but transport routes, permits, escorts and final access need early review.
11 ft 8 in and other wide projects
An 11 ft 8 in base configuration is shown with a starting price on the foundation page. It is a specific quoted starting point, not a ready-to-order or permit-approved package. Plan the building and delivery together.
USE THIS WITH YOUR QUOTE
Measure the finished travel envelope
- Exterior wall-to-wall width and any siding, eaves or accessories that project beyond it
- Floor plan and clear interior dimensions needed for the intended rooms
- Estimated finished weight and axle/tow plan
- Origin, route and final driveway or site access
- Local requirements for a wide load and the intended approval path
The quoted chassis width is only one part of the transport width. Confirm the finished structure and actual route before treating an 8-, 10- or 12-foot plan as deliverable.
