Smithaven
With abundant natural light streaming in from the barn sash and transom windows and the additional headroom provided by the dormer, this unique design is the perfect choice for a workshop, artisan studio, backyard office or a stylish storage shed. Upgrade to four-season for year-round use!
The Smithaven is the perfect choice for use as a workshop, artisan studio, backyard office or a stylish storage shed. The extra barn sash and transom windows offer lots of natural light while the dormer adds extra headroom to the space. The asymmetrical roof and the arched door give this pre-built tiny cabin tons of charm and character, making it one of our most beloved designs. If you are looking for something to be used year-round, we offer many options to customize your building to fit all of your needs. The building detailed in these small rustic cabin plans can also be delivered fully assembled as a turn-key tiny house, three season summer rental cabin, or a year round four season cottage. If you plan to use these shed cabin plans to set up a storage structure, a double door with ramp could be used in place of the dormer windows.
Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kit, 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 a convenient and rustic outbuilding. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. 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. Shelter your riding lawn mower, ATV or motorcycle from the elements.
Storage Shed, Playhouse, or Cottage for guests? You decide. It 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. Rugged post and beam techniques, passed down through the centuries, are used to construct this sturdy picturesque shelter, reminiscent of old New England. All of our woodsheds, storage sheds, garden sheds, cottages and utility enclosures are built of the finest Vermont lumber and handcrafted for long life and durability. New England weather can really put a wood garden shed or cottage to the test, and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s products have proven to stand the test of time and strength.
