In 1968 Topsider created the first pedestal houses ever commercially sold. Since then thousands have been built worldwide in every conceivable setting and climate. Our latest and most innovative collection of pedestal homes (and piling homes) are ideally suited for hurricane-prone coastal regions as well as severely sloping mountainous building sites. All Topsider homes are individually engineered to meet or exceed local building code requirements. New sizes, new floor plans and new 2021 pricing.
