Bunkie Life

Bunkie Life manufactures small cabin kits at a factory at 4917 7th Line, Rockwood, Ontario, and ships them across Canada and the United States. In the owner's own words on the About page: "We built our first bunkie in 2015. We loved it so much, we built five more. Now, we manufacture the best bunkies at our factory in Rockwood, Ontario and ship across Canada and USA." The company was founded by David Fraser, and the site states it appeared on CBC's Dragons' Den, where it says it is "the only business in history to receive offers from all 5 Dragons."

The catalogue runs to 18 models grouped as bunkies without a loft (Cabana, Getaway Cabin, Chalet, Hideaway 159 and 199 sq ft, Rockwood 160 and 199 sq ft, Summer Cabin), attic-style bunkies with a loft (Hideaway 199 With Loft, Rockwood 199 with Loft, Weekender) and stand-up bunkies with a loft (Alcove 160, Sprucewood Lodge, Haven and Haven ULTRA). Purpose-specific variants — Bathroom, Office, Music Room, Storage and Bus Stop bunkies — are also listed. The units provide "99 – 220 square feet of extra living space," ship as kits "with all the necessary hardware needed to put it together," and the company says they "can be assembled in a few days." Prices are published per model on the site and shown automatically in CAD or USD; financing and a priority-booking deposit are offered. The site also publishes how-to guides for foundations, insulation, electricity and heating, indicating the kits are customer-assembled rather than turnkey.
