Hobby House
The Hobby House is loaded with features that create a fantastic workshop, art studio, or store. The double barn doors with ramp make it easy to load items in and out, while the storage loft, built-in workbench and overhang prove to be very useful elements for storage.
This hobby house shed design features an overhang, interior loft, a built-in workbench, and 5’ double doors in addition to the single door. Its steep roof pitch and high ceiling create a spacious interior feel that allows you to capitalize on vertical storage and larger tools. With the full 8’ walls and generous loft, this cozy workshop has more to offer than any one person can imagine. This hobby shed outbuilding is undeniably one of the best choices for use as a workshop, art studio, country store, pond house, deluxe backyard shed, and even a little motorcycle shop. No longer are you sequestered to the cluttered-up garage to work on your projects and hobbies, now the Hobby House grants you the space to take your hobby to the next level.
This design is now on display at the Vermont factory. Come take the tour and check it out!
Offered as frame only shed with loft kits, complete pre-cut kits, 3- and 4-Season kits, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and tiny house solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage, additional sleeping space on a summer night, or a corner garden office. Keep your lawn furniture, kids’ toys, and bicycles within easy reach in summer, yet safely tucked away during the winter. Maintain a stockpile of household supplies or a stash of non-perishable foods to cut down on shopping trips or create the perfectly quiet nook to read while enjoying a breeze through the windows.
Storage Shed, Playhouse, or Workshop? You decide. A large shed can also serve dual purposes, becoming a combined storage shed and workspace for hobbies such as woodworking, pottery or jewelry making. Even a cozy cottage has plenty of room for a reading space alongside essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories.
