Description

Functional or just for looks an outhouse is a staple of the countryside. A quarter-moon design is cut out of the door. The history of the quarter-moon on the door of the outhouse goes way back to Europe in the 1500s or the 1600s. It was common practice, back then, to identify which outhouse was which by means of a circular symbol on the door of the men’s and a quarter-moon on the ladies’. The circular symbol and the quarter-moon were Europe’s version of the Chinese Yin and Yang. A little building such as this wooden outhouse shed can be equipped with a composting toilet or is perfect for storing overflow gardening tools. Want a classic functional outhouse? Check out our functional option that is outfitted with a bench seat, a toilet seat and a hopper. Add clear poly roofing to allow for natural lighting or class it up with attractive Western Red Cedar Shingles.

Offered as frame only kits, complete pre-cut kits or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam shed solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. Stack your lawn chairs inside or store kids’ toys for 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. Harbor your generator or gasoline for your mower to keep them safe from the harsh elements.

An outbuilding gives you a convenient place to store the equipment you need to keep your home’s landscape looking good. Even a small shed has plenty of room for a generator, leaf blower, shovels or trimmer along with essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories.
