A Home Away From Home...
A storage shed can easily become a cabin with just a few upgrades! Cabins are custom built for you, so you can specify exactly the options you need. Whether you are looking for a basic cabin shell or something a little more sophisticated, just bring us your ideas! We will help you create that special place of your own. We have multiple siding options in a variety of colors. It's your cabin after all, so the choice is up to you!
When creating a cabin out of one of our structures we recommend considering the following upgrades:
- Add a porch. Porches help give a shed the look of a home. They also provide an outdoor area to gather and enjoy nature together as a family. By adding a porch, you can also create a loft area inside for extra storage or sleeping space. Porches are available with or without railing.
- Upgrade from a standard shed door to a house door. This really helps turn a shed into a cabin! Fiberglass house doors with windows allow extra natural light inside and let you see who's outside when you hear a knock on the door. House doors also include a standard door knob (instead of a t-handle on shed doors). You can also add a deadbolt for added security if desired. You can choose if you want the door to swing out or in and whether the hinges are on the left or right.
- Add venting. This is an important upgrade we recommend for every cabin! Venting allows your building to breathe and air to circulate. A ridge vent and gable end vents allow warm, humid air to leave your cabin. Vented eaves provide an source of fresh, cooler air to help push warm humid air out ridge and gable vents. Without proper ventilation, your building will sweat trying to get the moisture out of the air.
- Insulate the floor, walls, and/or roof and choose insulated window and doors. Insulation will help keep the warm air from your heater inside and prevent the cold air from outside from sneaking in during the fall and winter. Various kinds of insulation options are available for the flooring, walls, and roofing. Insulated doors and windows are available in a variety of style and sizes.
- Raise the wall height. Depending on the size and style of the base shed you are customizing into a cabin, you may want to increase the wall height. This may be simply for comfort or it may be necessary for the other upgrades you choose.
- Add extra doors and windows. Depending on the size of the cabin you are designing, you may desire multiple entrances and exits. You may also want additional windows for added natural light and to let in a cool breeze on a warm day. They can be placed almost any way you desire!
- Ask us to frame out walls to create rooms inside. In large cabins, you may want to split up the the space into separate areas, rather than have one common area. We can frame out these rooms so they are ready for the interior finishing you choose to proceed with. (We specialize in cabin shells, not cabins with interior finishing. If you desire interior finishing, discuss your options with you local store manager. Please note, interior finishes will often cause a significant increase in production time on your cabin.)
- Ask about electrical packages. Some DIY-ers are great at finishing the interior themselves, but need help with the electrical components. We have a variety of electrical packages available including lights, light switches, and receptacles. Components can each be placed inside the cabin as you desire.
Before placing your order: Make sure to check any regulations and codes set by your state, county, or township. Once your cabin is in production, changes can be costly and delay delivery. Make sure to communicate any state, county, or township requirements when designing your cabin with your local store manager. We are not responsible for making sure that your cabin meets your local regulations ourselves, but will gladly help you design a cabin that meets the requirements you inform us of.
Like our sheds, cabins are generally delivered fully assembled to your site. If your cabin cannot be delivered fully assembled or your needs are larger than we can transport, we can also build at your location to your specifications. Please note: Our Rent-To-Own program is not available on buildings you intend to live in, including cabins. No exceptions.
