Gable Plans

The Gable design is the quintessential outdoor wood shed and these backyard building plans come with all the information and instruction you’ll need to start your next diy cottage project. Jamaica Cottage Shop Inc offers every size of the Gable pre cut storage shed kit as a frame only package or a complete standard, 4 and 3 season home kit! Each prefab shed kit is composed of sustainable rough sawn pine lumber harvested from right here in New England. The post and beam framing of each kit is made from 4×4 treated timber hemlock lumber.

The gable shed is an incredibly versatile cottage that has the space and flexibility to function as your standard garden shed or even an outdoor office studio! The kit comes with a pressure treated ramp that makes loading yard equipment a breeze! Reinforced flooring makes this mini barn perfect as a small goat shed. Large pine double doors make it easy to convert your garden tool shed into a mini house shop with an open floor plan, perfect for displaying goods with an inviting atmosphere.

The 4 season home kit of the gable shed includes small insulated windows to allow for optimal natural lighting while keeping your little backyard retreat warm throughout the year. Keep your office shed insulated with our wall vapor barrier and shiplap pine interior sheathing. With full roof and floor insulation, you can turn your prefab backyard cottage into a pristine guest house. Build your own tiny house on your property as a home away from home. If you really want, you can opt to use our frame to add on your own custom millwork to fully personalize your backyard building. You can never really predict where a diy building project will take you, so have some fun with it!
