Our homes are designed for quick assembly, cost efficiency, and customization, and with the right preparation, most units can be ready to use within a single day.If you’re new to this housing type, you can first check out What Is a Foldable House? to understand the design and benefits before starting installation.
This guide will walk you through the full installation process of a YJD foldable house, so you can plan ahead, avoid delays, and get the best results.
Before your foldable house arrives, it’s important to have the site ready:
Foundation – Build the concrete base or anchor points according to the foundation plan provided by YJD.
Site Access – Make sure the delivery truck and crane can reach your location and that there’s enough open space to unfold the structure.
Tools & Equipment – Prepare a crane or forklift, wrench set, electric drill, level, and other basic tools.
Team Setup – We recommend a team of 4–6 people, including a crane operator and assembly workers.
Inspect Before Unloading – Check the structure for any shipping damage.
Crane Placement – Use a crane to place the folded unit onto the foundation, ensuring it’s level.
Anchor the Base – Secure the base to the pre-installed bolts or embedded steel plates.
Unfold the Walls – Open the side walls first, followed by the front and back walls.
Secure the Panels – Fasten the walls to the base and roof using the bolts and connectors supplied by YJD.
Install the Roof Panels – Position and fix the roof panels in sequence, making sure all joints are properly sealed.
Fit Frames – Place door and window frames into the prepared openings and fix them securely.
Seal the Gaps – Apply waterproof sealant around frames for maximum weather resistance.
Interior Work – Install flooring, wall panels, partitions, and bathroom fixtures as needed.
Electrical Setup – Connect to the main power supply or generator following local electrical codes.
Plumbing – Connect water inlets and drainage pipes, then test for leaks.
Final Checks – Test all lighting, outlets, switches, and appliances.
