Potting Fort

This charming little Vermont Post & Beam shelter is in stock and ships right away.

This little cottage was designed and built for storage and gardening purposes. A sanctuary away from the main house, set among big white pines, close to the perennial gardens. Clients have reported spending evenings on the porch sipping red wine and watching wild turkeys forage in the fields. The building features a saltbox-style roof shedding water and snow to the back. A dormer is attached to the front and extended out over the porch. The additional gable detail enhances the design and adds character and charm by breaking up the rooflines. Four opening barn sash windows, a single 3’ door and a workbench give this cottage its uniqueness. This cottage would make a great backyard retreat, bunkhouse, or special hide away.
Rugged post and beam techniques, passed down through the centuries, are used to construct this sturdy picturesque 12×12 shed kit structure, reminiscent of old New England. All of our wood sheds, storage sheds, outdoor storage sheds, garden sheds, storage shed kits, cottages and utility enclosures are built of the finest Vermont lumber and handcrafted for long life and durability. New England weather can really put a wood garden shed or cottage to the test, and Jamaica Cottage Shop’s products have proven to stand the test of time and strength.
