Vermonter
This no-frills shed is an economical option for all of your storage needs. The Vermonter can be used as is or personalized with paint, siding or roofing upgrades. Pressure treated flooring is a popular add-on for strength. Most sizes can be assembled over a weekend.
Choose your post and beam shed from lengths to twenty feet long. The Vermonter has the double doors on the gable end where the water does not drip off the roof. Jamaica Cottage Shop designed this basic building to compete with the prefabricated tinker-toy sheds found at franchise home supply super stores. We are pleased to offer this burly post and beam design with its 5’0” double doors that are large enough to fit a riding lawn mower, ATV, or a couple of motorcycles. The versatile shed has been used in many ways from general storage to a playhouse and has even been turned into a great little potting shed tucked away near the garden. No Plywood is used in the Vermonter. It is built the same way they have been for centuries with native Vermont Lumber. 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 also be customized with a variety of upgrades including several siding and roofing options, local artisan hand-crafted glass roundels, flower boxes, and weathervanes. 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 cottage and tiny house solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage. 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.
