AMAZON is selling tiny homes you can build in as little as one day - and they would make the perfect garden hideaway.
If you’ve run out of space, or want to build an office or workshop at the end of your garden, these might fit the bill.
And they could even function as a quaint guest suite or annex for a downsizing relative.
The cabins can be ordered online and shipped straight to you.
Delivery is usually free, and the cabins range in price from around £4,700 ($6,000) up to more than £50,000 ($64,000), depending on their size and sturdiness.
Sadly, none of the manufacturers ship to the UK at the moment, but if you are in the US, shipping is free to most states.
Each tiny home comes as a kit that includes everything you need - you just need to have a set of basic tools.
Here are the best tiny homes for sale online:
