None of our current prefab Kit houses can withstand hurricanes, but we are in discussion with additional manufacturers to increase our supply, how far we can supply them, and to have kit houses for all climates and weather conditions. So we don’t have any at this instant, but if you Join Ecohome as a member for free (we don’t spam or share addresses) you will receive a notice as soon as we have more models and manufacturers ready to go.
