Our cupolas will need to have the cut out for the roof pitch cut after delivery by the customer. Otherwise all of the parts are ready to assemble.

When installing a functional cupola you will want to build a rough opening in the roof so the interior of the cupola is exposed.

The functional cupola is most often used in Sugar Shacks. The hinged vents let steam escape when opened.

The vents on the functional cupola are mounted with our t-strap hinges.

Description

A traditional New England design, the Sugar Shack Cabin boasts functionality and aesthetic appeal. Sugar Shacks are traditionally used as syrup houses, a designated building to boil maple syrup. In the springtime a large cloud of smoke and steam can be seen rising high above a sugar shack. Whether you’re looking to use this building as a functional Sugar Shack, or are simply embracing the stand-out look, this design is an asset to any landscape. Sugar Shacks are extremely versatile in terms of usage and our options range from 80–800 sq. feet. The standard option on this design includes a functional cupola, perfect for workshops, storage shed, playhouse, pool house, guest house, or even tiny living. It can also be customized with a variety of upgrades including several siding and roofing options, local artisan hand-crafted glass roundels, flower boxes, and weathervanes.

Offered as frame only kits, complete pre-cut kits, 3- and 4-Season kits, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and tiny house solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage or a corner garden office. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. This versatile building could easily be used for a storage space or guest house. The Sugar Shack is a great investment—a beefy structure that will last for years to come.
Rugged post and beam techniques, passed down through the centuries, are used to construct this sturdy picturesque shelter, reminiscent of old New England. All of our woodsheds, storage sheds, garden sheds, 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.
