Bayside Plans

One of the most versatile cottage designs available at Jamaica Cottage Shop Inc, the modular Bayside prefab studio is adaptable to almost any purpose you can imagine. With a stunningly unique roofline style, the Bayside small pool house plans make for the perfect backyard building project to accompany a pond or pool! You could use the Bayside for storing yard and pool equipment or use it as cabana to get out of the sun on a hot day. Then on during those warm summer rains, cool off on the flying v covered porch.

Even if you’re not huge into the pool house aesthetic, you can easily convert this cute shack into an outdoor office shed, backyard playhouse, or artist studio. Two 2×2 six lite hinged barn sash windows are placed efficiently to keep the interior flooded with natural light. Looking for a change of scenery to get the creative energy flowing? The Bayside functions as the ideal backyard retreat getaway!

Say you want to build your project in a climate that’s a bit harsher in the winter, the Bayside (like all of our diy tiny home designs) features a 3 and 4 season home kit! Keep your Jamaica cabin warm without sacrificing visibility with insulated windows and doors. Insulating and wall sheathing enhance our durable rough sawn pine lumber to stand the test of time, no matter the conditions.

The Bayside cottage is far from a one-note design! In fact, you can customize your prefab shed kit with Adirondack siding and red cedar shakes if you really want that rustic woodland look. Or you can opt for some classic colonial clapboard siding and asphalt shingles for a more pristine “dollhouse” look. No matter the exterior additions, the silhouette and interior make the Bayside one of the most distinct and adaptable VT pool house shed plans we have available.
