Description

The SolidBuild® Bristhol is the flagship of the cottage shed lineup — a top-selling 13×11 solid wood shed kit offering 117 sq ft of beautifully finished interior space. Taller walls, sweeping windows, and a full French door make this the go-to choice for anyone who wants a backyard space that genuinely feels like a room: a home office, art studio, she shed, guest retreat, or serious creative workshop. In stock — delivery within 3 weeks, depending on your location.

What makes the Bristhol SolidBuild's top-selling shed?

The Bristhol earns its top-seller status by doing something the smaller sheds can't: it gives you enough room to truly live and work in. At 117 sq ft with walls reaching 7 at the eaves and nearly 8' 1" to the central roof beam, the interior feels genuinely spacious — not like a storage box, but like an extra room that happens to be in your backyard. Tall windows flood the space with natural light from multiple directions. The smooth, milled Norway Spruce interior requires no drywall, no finishing, no waiting — move in as soon as the last board goes down. This is the shed customers come back to rave about in videos, reviews, and emails years after assembly.

What can I use the Bristhol 13×11 for?

With 117 sq ft and generous wall height, the Bristhol opens up uses that simply aren't possible in a smaller footprint. Popular applications include:

Dedicated home office shed — full-size desk, bookcase, seating, and room to pace
Art studio or photography space — tall windows and ample floor area ideal for large-format work
She shed or personal sanctuary — the space and ceiling height to make it feel like a proper room
Guest retreat or Airbnb cabin — add a queen bed, insulate the roof and floor, and wire for power
Craft room or maker space — room for multiple worktables and standing tool storage
Pool house or cabana — large, attractive structure that fits naturally beside outdoor pools
Yoga or fitness studio — enough floor space for a full mat and equipment
Children's playhouse or teen hangout — bright, windowed, and safe year-round
Music practice room — solid wood walls take acoustic treatment beautifully
Home library or reading room — floor-to-ceiling shelving possible on all three walls

What's included with the Bristhol shed kit?

Included:

French door with dual-pane glass
Tall side windows and front door windows (dual-pane glass)
T&G solid wood floor kit (pre-cut spruce + pressure-treated floor joists)
T&G solid wood roof boards
All fasteners, hardware, lock, and keys
Comprehensive assembly manual + downloadable blueprint

Not included: Foundation · roofing material (shingles, metal roofing, rolled roofing, or PVC all work) · exterior paint or stain.

How does the Bristhol's solid wood construction compare to other shed options?

The Bristhol is built from FSC-certified Norway Spruce using 1 3/8" double tongue-and-groove construction — the same wood system found in Scandinavian and Eastern European buildings still standing after two centuries. The walls are self-supporting solid wood: no OSB, no MDF, no exposed framing, and absolutely no drywall required. The interior is finished from Day 1. Because it's real wood, you can run electrical conduit on the walls, add a subpanel, and mount anything with a standard screw. The Bristhol withstands winds up to 75 mph and carries a 25 lb/sq ft snow load rating — engineered structural integrity, not just aesthetics.

Can I make the Bristhol more energy-efficient for year-round use?

Yes — the roof and floor can both be insulated, making the Bristhol viable as a year-round workspace or guest room in most US climates. Add rigid foam or batt insulation above the T&G roof boards under your chosen roofing material, and insulate between the floor joists from below. Pair this with a mini-split or electric panel heater, and you have a fully climate-controlled backyard room. Exterior paint or polyurethane provides weather protection in harsher climates.

How long does it take to assemble, and is it DIY-friendly?

Assembly takes 8–20 hours with two adults and basic tools, such as a power drill, tape measure or rubber mallet. All boards are pre-cut; the process is comparable to assembling Scandinavian flat-pack furniture, just at a larger scale. A step-by-step manual, downloadable blueprint, and video assembly library are all included. SolidBuild® customer support at (800) 590-2508, ext. 1 is staffed by US-based humans with expert knowledge of every model.

Sheds with finished interior

The inside of your shed is finished with smooth milled wood and smells like a fresh conifer forest. Due to the unique construction type, there is no exposed framing that needs drywall or other finish. You can move in immediately! Stain your shed interior for a splash of color or white-wash for a modern designer look. Turn it into a garden shed, home office, workshop, playhouse, art studio, or anything you can imagine.
Shed care and personalization

Your shed is made of natural wood! Easily personalize it and set up to fit your needs and style. Paint or stain the outside to protect the wood. Paint and polyurethane are wonderful options in harsher climates (think torrential rains, etc.), and exterior wood stain works well in gentler climates.

It's made of solid wood, thus you can modify it as needed to run conduits for electrical and insulate the roof and/or floor to make it energy efficient. It's incredibly versatile!
Easy to assemble DIY shed kit

All our models are designed as do-it-yourself shed kits with easy-to-follow manuals and step-by-step video instructions - it s not just easy but also a fun DIY project.
To begin, your shed needs a level and firm base for a foundation to stay upright for the years to come. Then, only basic tools are needed, and it takes a weekend to assemble a gorgeous natural wood shed kit. If you have any technical questions, folks at customer support are a phenomenal help!
Long lasting wood garden sheds

We use only FSC-certified Norway Spruce lumber, which is well-known for its durability and strength compared to Southern Pine. Buildings around Eastern Europe and Scandinavia made from this wood still stand 200 years later.
These tough little sheds withstand winds up to 75 mph and hold a foot of snow without any reinforcements. Since they are made of real wood, you can make needed modifications in harsher environments. Fun fact - our sheds are "self-adjusting" in some sense, and do well in small earthquakes!
You are in great hands

Our customer service, pre-sale and post-purchase, is exceptional, and our reviews prove it. You always communicate with genuine and friendly humans based in the US with expert know-how of the sheds and their construction.
Our family-owned mill is located in the heart of Lithuania, and has been operating since 1996, manufacturing beautifull sheds, cabins, pool houses and other storage and alternative living solutions for customers all around Europe and Scandinavia. In 2009 we introduced our quality sheds to the US where our customers continue to appreciate the superior craftsmanship and great design.
Nontocxic eco-friendly sheds

Our shed kits are made of 100% natural, FSC-certified wood and are not treated with toxic preservatives. Raw wood ensures a safe and eco-friendly environment for people and other living beings. Most shed makers use engineered wood materials that contain huge concentrations of formaldehyde and are toxic to you and the environment. These materials are not meant for our living spaces.
It takes approximately one mature tree to make a 10'x10' shed. To offset the impact, we give 25 times more to nature by planting 25 trees in your name for each purchase made.

What our customers say

One of the best purchase I’ve made in forever.

“I bought my shed in 2020, and it’s been perfect. I ran highspeed internet to my shed and it’s got full electrical. All wifi plugs so I can control everything using Alexa or mobile app. I have a dedicated electrical circuit for my minisplit, so have full control over temp. Minisplit works great in here, with one of the smart thermostats, I can control temp from my phone and schedule, so in winter, it turns on about 30 minutes before I need to come in so its not an icebox and summer, it cools down in a few minutes so its never an issue. I have family that comes and stay during the summer and winter and they sleep in here (queen pullout sofa). They love it. One of the best purchase I’ve made in forever. I get so many compliments on it too as opposed to tuffsheds which are not visually appealing."

‒ Tal P.
Outstanding product from top to bottom

“The wood is top-notch and really well crafted—the doors and windows feel super solid and sturdy. Putting it together was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions and all the parts being there—no surprises or fixes needed. It arrived quickly, and the team was great about answering all my questions honestly and promptly. In the end, it looks amazing—like a custom build that would’ve cost three times more. It’s nothing like those generic kits from big-box stores. Easily a five-star experience—would definitely recommend!"

‒ Tony P.
We Love Our Shed!

“We purchased a Whales 10x10 in 2014 and love it. It went together like a dream, and we have appreciated the storage it has lent us over these past years. Once the shed was completed, roofed, and painted, with window boxes added, my 97 year old mother said she wanted to live in it!”

‒ Dennis and Maureen Glynn
An important place of our home

“I want to let you know how much we love our shed. Now 3 + years after ordering it has become a very important place for us, an extension of the house. An office, art studio, dining room, and cozy place to take in the weather, it is a place to talk. Everyone that sees the shed wants one. I have shown it to multipal interested people whom I do not even know. I also want to congratulate you for inventing and producing such a brilliant and importaint product. It has made our living space much better."

‒ Kevin Harris
