Exciting Happenings at Jamaica Cottage Shop !!! —National Geographic’s Top Rated TV Show “Building Wild”, and the well known TV hosts, “The Cabin Kings”, have partnered with Jamaica Cottage Shop, to bring you the story on how a large cabin kit can be built to suit your needs – and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s exciting hot new design, the 20′ x 30′ Timber Frame Home Kit – is the building they are going to use!
The trend of shipping precut buildings is rapidly growing, and while Jamaica Cottage Shop has been providing these buildings since 1995, they also have been paying attention to what people want. They noticed there are a variety of needs, not always met with a large inventory of designs, but better met with designs that have a range of useful options to choose from – and clearly a big part of the success behind their cabin kits is that they can be sculpted in many ways. The kicker is, they are also affordable. Tie that into the fact that this company has the shipping all figured out (free shipping on prefabricated kits in the continental US and parts of Eastern Canada – and a side note…they can also ship worldwide), and you have this cute little tiny house company that isn’t so tiny at all, since they are one of only a handful of companies worldwide providing a comprehensive affordable source of prefabricated kit buildings for cottage living.
Jamaica Cottage Shop has had many collaborations with media sources, including both of these great companies before – I think this one is going to be really special though – how fun to see this 20’ x 30’ Cabin Kit be built as an extra large Sugar Shack, with a working Cupola! I think the idea behind this show, what these mega media companies can share for us here at home, is exactly how versatile this post and beam kit is – when they say the frame can be utilized however you need it – this is an incredible example! Precut architecture and modular building design, is clearly still an evolving notion, so this will be a fascinating visual in this world – Can’t wait to see the show!
The show will air April 7th, and is currently being filmed nearby, in upstate New York. This kit has an estimated assembly time of 2 people, 80 hours – so the show will bring you many of the highlights of the building, and the hosts love doing this, so it will be really fun to watch!
Here are some interesting stats on this design, that I think help fill in the idea behind the options-
Via the Jamaica Cottage Shop website – only a very partial information piece on this versatile design –
“Designed to meet tough building standards, our 20Ă—30 prefabricated house kit features heavy 8Ă—8 post and beams supporting a full loft and a steep 8/12 pitch gable roof. The timber frame offers endless possibilities for customizations. Optional dormers in the loft can provide light and additional space. This cabin kit also comes with a choice of 8’ or 10’ first floor ceiling heights to allow either more room on the first floor or in the loft. Shed roof overhangs ranging from 4’ to 12’ wide on any or all of the exterior walls can accommodate simple firewood storage, create additional interior square footage, or open covered space. Our timber frame large cabin kit is our most customizable and expandable design, all at a great, affordable price. Multiple siding and roofing options ensure your finished prefabricated cabin kit can match existing buildings on your property.
Consider adding a complete insulation package to turn this quality frame into a cozy four season cabin. The 8×8 post and beam framing members allow ample space to easily install thick insulation with high R-values. Like all of our cabin kits, the 20×30 kit features locally sourced, beefy 8×8 hemlock timber frame construction with true mortise and tenon joinery. All of the necessary oak pegs, fastening materials, insulated windows and doors, and Step-by-Step do it yourself plans are included.”

Jamaica Cottage Shop won’t have the pics of the 20’ x 30’ Cabin Kit as a Sugaring House example until it airs…but, in the meantime, make sure you look carefully at some of the many possibilities Jamaica Cottage Shop offers, in the extensive line of prefabricated cabin kits they have been developing over the past 2 decades, for the cottage living lifestyle. The friendly in house staff at the factory will happily help you with any questions – they are trained, long time staff, in both design and building, and are always professional, prompt and courteous. (One of my favorite things about them). You can use their toll free number at 1-866-297-3760, or email. Winter hours are 9-5 (EST) Monday-Friday (Weekends by chance or appointment).
This is a serious tiny house company – making affordable cottage living available and accessible, and I can attest, they are always forward thinking. Call them about your next project!

How to Design Your Own Shed & Shed Building Tips
More on ~ Building Custom: Having the Answers Ready.

This option is crazy pretty. Apparently, Jamaica Cottage Shop has been making these hand forged iron (local) pieces available since they started making buildings in 1995.  I think they are a wonderful way to make a building a little extra special, and they are both affordable, and unique.  I especially like the hinges.

But, hang on, I am getting ahead of myself. Recently, Domenic (the owner), suggested I put some questions up, that need to be answered before ordering custom projects. (I’m the kind of person to hang the curtains before I’ve even ordered the guest house, so it gave me pause.) What kind of questions?

Well, important ones. And, furthermore, there is a special order that Katrina (and dog pal Flux), Mindy and Andrew, (the friendly cottage associates at the other end of the phone line), ask these questions. Hmmm. So, before you have built in your mind the coolest chicken coop ever…

12x12 Saltbox bright red storage shed with extra windows and a charcoal gray roof
A charcoal gray corrugated metal roof, extra barn sash windows and a coat of red paint dress up this 12×12 Saltbox storage shed.
  • Do I own land?

Well that makes sense. Weeds out a whole lot of potential problems, if I am  going to want them to build that special chicken coop, and the land deal hasn’t closed yet, where would it get delivered too? They don’t want to start that project, until I am all set on my end.

  • What will the building be used for?

That makes sense too, being clear on my purpose.  If I don’t know what I need (do I have 6 chickens, or 100, coming in 3 weeks?), I can’t possible know what kind of building to order.

  • What is my shipping zip code?

Nice and organized. Determining whether I am able to take advantage of one of Jamaica Cottage Shops well known special offers on shipping.

  • What is your budget?

Good point. If I’m not sure how much I want to spend, maybe I should look at some of the shed kits in their homesteading line to get a better feel for what my spending limit is.

  • When am I hoping to have the project completed by?

Makes sure everyone is on the same page. I like that. Clears out misunderstandings. Jamaica Cottage Shop has an A+ rating at the Better Business Bureau, and has been doing this since 1995. They know how to keep us happy. Check.

  • Is it going to be for 3 or 4 season use?

On this one, Jamaica Cottage Shop could help me, because they have been farming with chickens since they started, and I am new to the backyard homesteading idea. I am excited to get started, so I am glad they know their product line so well!

  • Will it have running water?

Good question. That idea is something I might not have considered before. Let me think about that now. I’m sure Jamaica Cottage Shop has some ideas on how that might or might now work, if I asked them for some feedback on my situation, before I committed to such a project.

Jamaica Cottage Shop is open and running  Monday-Friday 9-5pm (EST) during the winter, at this toll free number (1-866-297-3760) – they have a design team, tech support team and a client care team, to help with different kinds of questions. Jamaica Cottage Shop also has a frequently asked questions page to read that helps too.

I’m feel more prepared knowing these questions I have answers to already, and am excited to start my project! Is there a project you are needing help with planning?
