Description

The word “Xylia” is Greek, meaning “of the woods.” This picturesque design would look great just about anywhere, especially surrounded by nature. The Xylia (zee-lee-ah) comes standard with five windows and a single door making it the perfect candidate for a tiny-house, cottage, playhouse, or backyard storage space. Add a set of double doors to increase storage potential or add an insulation package to make it livable year-round. This “of the woods” design is elegant and classic with lots of potential. The Xylia comes standard with a Vermont made hand blown stained-glass roundel that adds to the whimsical nature of this storage shed or studio.

Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kit, 3- and 4-Season kit, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and shed 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 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 or create the perfectly quiet nook to read while enjoying a breeze through the windows. The perfect back yard getaway for artists, woodworkers, bookworms, or your lawn mower!

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.
