Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: What is a steel frame tiny house?
A steel frame tiny house is built using light gauge steel framing, a precision-engineered alternative to timber. Each frame is pre-designed and manufactured for accuracy, resulting in a stronger, straighter, and more reliable structure.
Question 2: Why are steel frame tiny homes better than timber?
Steel framing is increasingly popular in the use of tiny homes beacuse it is up to 50% lighter than timber.
Also, it:
- is termite and pest resistance
- doesn't warping, shrinking, or twisting
- is non-combustible material (ideal for bushfire zones)
- has high structural accuracy
- has long-term durability
For tiny homes, this means better use of space, fewer issues over time, a higher-quality long lasting build and greater design flexibility while still meeting the 4.5t towing restrictions.
Question 3: Can I customise my steel frame tiny house design?
Yes. A Metframe Australia steel frame allows for:
- Fully custom layouts
- Precise window and door placements
- Modern, space-efficient designs
You’re not locked into standard templates—you can design a tiny home that suits your needs and lifestyle - giving you greater design flexibility.
Question 4: Can steel frames be delivered to remote locations?
Yes. Steel frames are ideal for logistics because they can be:
- Delivered flat-pack or in stick form sections
- Transported easily to tight or remote sites
- Assembled onsite.
Question 5: What is the process?

2. Custom Design

4. Delivery or Pick Up
You have the flexibility to perosnally pick up your tiny house steel framing kit or have it conveniently delivered directly to your preferred location.
Question 6: How can I receive my steel frame kit?
You can receive your steel frame kit in three ways:
1. Stick-form Kit
Like a Meccano set, we give you your frames in pieces that you assemble and install yourself. Everything is labled and we give you everything you need to put it together and install it yourself. This is an ideal option for sites with limited access.
2. Pre-assembled Kit
In this option, your tiny house steel frames are pre-assembled and delivered to you as panels which you install yourself.
3. Installed on your trailer
All the hard work is done for you with this option - your frames are pre-assembled and installed directly on your trailer. All you have to do it finish it off. You will need to get your trailer to and picked up from our factory in Oberon.
Question 7: Do I need building experience?
No - Our framing kits are designed specifically for DIY builders starting out. And we're always just a phone call away if you have any questions.
Question 8: How long does it take to build?
This really depends on your pace, but starting with our prefabricated frames significantly reduces your setup and ongoing build timeframes.
Question 9: What's included in the kit?
Our kit includes wall frames, roof panel frame/s, fixings and grommets to get your tiny house up and running.
