Vermont Gem
Very well proportioned, the Vermont gem was designed to hold firewood on one side, while providing enclosed storage for tools, recycling, garbage cans, toys or yard equipment on the other side. The enclosed section has large double doors and an included ramp for easy access.
If you’re in need of both firewood storage and general cold storage, but do not have the budget or the space for two separate structures, the Vermont Gem is where it’s at. Not only can you stack up your wood, but you can also keep your lawn mower, tools, gardening supplies, and bicycles tucked away properly without taking up too much room in your yard. Upgrade to cedar shake roofing to give it the ultimate rustic Vermont appearance. Add a window or local artisan hand-blown glass roundel to the enclosed storage side to allow a bit of natural light. Consider installing the woodbin side with alternate board siding to allow more airflow if your location is in a shady spot. 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, 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. Strengthen the framing even more by upgrading to pressure treated floor system upgrades (skids, joists, and/or decking), 16” on center floor joists, and/or 16” on center roof rafters. It can be customized by upgrading the roof color. Termite shields and shed anchors may also be purchased for additional peace of mind. Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kit, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam wood bin and storage solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage with just the accessibility needed. 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.
