Love Nest
Featuring a stunning integrated porch with keyhole style entrance, decorative lattice work, and two comfy built in benches. This lovely design works perfectly as a she-shed, pond house or playhouse.
The simple and cozy nature of this design gives it its name; the Love Nest. With an integrated porch fitted with two comfy built in benches and keyhole style entrance this unique design works perfectly as a she-shed, summer camp building, pond house, playhouse, or mini retreat. The decorative lattice plays with the light while adding character and a bit of privacy. This is the ideal porch to watch and cherish the sunset and sunrise day after day. This ornamental touch also provides great realty for vines and foliage. Vibrant green hops cascading down the lattice can bring a coy personality to this little Love Nest. Enjoy quality outdoor time with your significant other or family as you picnic outside and then digest while reclining back in the welcoming benches.
Offered as frame only 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 or a corner garden office. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared. 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 Craft Studio? 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.
