How big is a tiny home in Chicago? What are the usual dimensions?
Tiny homes generally run up to 12' wide and 44' long, up to a maximum of 400 sq. ft. However, in any but three states of the US, the uppermost level of trailer width is 8'6" that is definitely the common tiny home in Chicago width. The full outer height can be under 13'6", which happens to be also the legitimate height limit for trailers, and safer for some bridges and overpasses on key highways. Builders do not construct more than the 13'6" limit. A lot of people have requested a bit shorter build based mostly on their own location and parking circumstances.
