A Starring Role!

Volstrukt was asked recently to participate in the an episode of the Texas Flip N Move show on DIYNetwork! We provided the quick-up steel frames for their Gary's Girls vs Guys tiny home build challenge. Our frames were up in a day save for some final detail work, and sheathing began the next day on-schedule. We were thrilled to see our steel frames saving the day in the challenge by saving the two teams both time and effort. To view the show, catch it on the DIY channel all this week, or you can watch it for a $3 cable network charge on Youtube here.

Best in Show?!? We'll take it!

This past weekend at the DC/Virginia Tiny House Festival, Volstrukt took home the Best in Show award. We are both proud of and humbled by the award, as we saw so many awesome tiny house vendors out there this year. We want to thank the DC and Virginia tiny house movement for the warm welcome! You are a driving force in this movement!
