Camp Alcove Plans
Camp Alcove DIY Shed Building Plans
The Camp Alcove is a perfect open-air solution for remote lodging in areas like parks, summer camps, hiking trails, or even your back yard. Designed with burly, 4×4 post-and-beam construction techniques that have proven the test of time, this lean-to structure will find home almost anywhere. Similar lodgings have been used to provide shelter for hikers throughout the northeast, but don’t let that limit you! The Camp Alcove can be used for more than just an outdoor domicile. Our Camp Alcove plans provide complete, easy-to-follow assembly instructions that will guide you through the process of constructing your very own Jamaica Cottage Shop out-building. They are carefully compiled using CAD software and contain all the information you need to complete the project, from ground to ridge. Each set of plans will come with a color-coded cut-list, drawings, part numbers, and templates for cutting your own rafters. If supplying and cutting lumber isn’t for you, then our plans can be paired with a pre-cut kit to make this DIY project even easier.
