WHY AN AMISH BARN RAISER?

The Amish Barn Raiser has everything you need to feel confident and secure
in your tiny house build, all while giving you the options and upgrades to make
it your own.
The Amish Barn Raiser is for those who want someone else to do the heavy
lifting; those who want to have a fully constructed and engineered exterior and
interior framing so they have the creative freedom to make their tiny house a
home. People who choose the Amish Barn Raiser usually want professionals
to handle things like framing, sheathing, engineering, attaching the house to
the trailer, water-proofing the home, and all that is taken care of.
AMISH BARN RAISER
Tumbleweed offers you plenty of upgrades and options to help customize

your very own Amish Barn Raiser. You can select from: a full completed roof,
dormers, all your windows installed, our own custom door installed, a onepiece shower, skylights, and you can even have the siding installed. If you want
to have us build the interior walls based on one of our floor plans, we can do
that as well. We want to make working on your own home as fun, rewarding
and hassle free as possible.
So please explore these next pages and find the perfect Amish Barn Raiser

HOUSE MODEL
CYPRESS
The Cypress design makes use of the most interior space, by
incorporating a corner porch and utilizing the extra room as interior
space. The rhythm of the design and depth, from its recessed porch
and hipped roof, offer an aesthetic that has led to the overwhelming
popularity of this Tumbleweed design.
CYPRESS 18' HOUSE MODEL ($13,000)
ELM
The iconic Elm facade features a custom arched window above the
door. The beauty and function of this house has withstood the test
of time. Optional dormers are available in the loft for added space,
light, and cross breeze. The full porch and lancet window give this
exterior design the charm and elegance that started it all.
ELM 18' HOUSE MODEL ($13,000)
LINDEN
The openness of the Lindens great room, perfect for small
gatherings and meetings, and the innovative new loft are the major
features of this design. The roof includes two dormers that not only
let in more light and give space, but also add to the overall classic
proportions of the design. The full porch across the front provides a
nice outdoor sitting area to enjoy a relaxing evening.

TOWING YOUR AMISH BARN RAISER AND HOME
Our tiny homes can be towed by a standard truck which you may already own
or else rent for moving days. To prepare for towing, here are specifications
about home weights and minimum tow vehicle requirements. Our House-toGo models have a width 8'6" and height of 13'4" Remember that your home
should be titled, licensed and insured to tow legally as an RV.

Tumbleweed house weights vary by size. Dry weight refers to the home
and trailer combined weight. GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating refers to
maximum allowable weight of the combined home, trailer and your personal
items. Tow capacity refers to the weight the truck can tow, which needs to
meet or exceed the gross weight of the home. Tongue weight refers to weight
carried by the hitch rather than the wheels of the trailer, and insufficient tongue
weight is the primary reason its difficult for 1/2 ton trucks to tow Tumbleweeds.
The compatible ball size is 2-5/16" for all Tumbleweed house trailers.
