Do-It-Yourself With Modular Systems

Need an 8' X 12' modular building in a hurry? Or, do you need something a bit more customized and larger that has to get around existing obstacles?

Modern modular building systems could be just the answer to either need, especially if it's to be completed as a do-it-yourself project, according to Porta-King Building Systems, a major manufacturer of modular and pre-assembled building systems. Porta-King advises looking for simplicity and durability in selecting a modular system to be installed as a do-it-yourself project.

One example of a simple, durable modular system with great do-it-yourself potential is Pivot-Lock. Panels simply pivot and lock together with the Pivot-Lock system. The walls of a 8' X 12' Pivot-Lock structure can be installed in 20 minuets.

Systems adaptable to do-it-yourself labor build in installation time savings with completely framed panels, including pre-glazed windows and pre-hung doors. Anodized aluminum structural components and laminated wall panels allow both indoor and outdoor installation. Should the need arise, systems such as Pivot-Lock can be broken down quickly for 100 percent reuse.
