Gable 4-Season Plans

The 4 season Gable design is the perfect shed for year-round use. Fully insulated, this shed could be used for storage, as a guest house, hunting cabin, in law suite or anything else that you can imagine. The traditional gable roof design will be a beautiful addition to any yard or landscape and will be sure to make your neighbors jealous. The 4 season version of this design comes standard with a steel 9-lite door with 2 insulated windows, attractive trim details and corrugated metal roofing material.

Our easy to follow plans start with a full list of materials as well as a detailed and color coded cut list, as well as a list of recommended tools for the job. Following that, we give you full specifications for your foundation, whether you choose to put your new outbuilding on a concrete slab or on piers. Once your foundation is ready, you’re ready to start building! Following the step by step instructions couldn’t be easier. In fact, we have designed our plans so even a novice is able to follow along. Starting with the rugged post and beam framing to your choice of siding, and right up to installing the metal roofing, our plans will guide you every step of the way.

When you purchase these plans, you will get digital viewing access as well as a physical copy in the mail. Should you run into any issues or have any questions at all, our tech support team is here Monday through Saturday from 8am-3pm to help you overcome any hurdles you may encounter. We have many sizes of Gable building kits for sale to choose from, and if you purchase plans and then decide to purchase a Gable kit through us, the complete cost of the plans will be reimbursed.
