SYNTRY 12×16 w/ 6’ Porch
Full Price: $17,995

The SYNTRY 12×16 is a structural cabin kit designed around one key feature: a full 6-foot covered front porch built directly into the structure. That porch is not a small step or landing. It is a true 6-foot deep porch, large enough for seating, firewood storage, gear, and a protected entry area. The porch expands the footprint of the cabin while maintaining a compact interior layout, creating a practical off-grid structure suited for northern climates.
