Three things to know before you buy
- 1Plan a level base. A gravel pad, slab or deck blocks sized 12′1″ × 10′1¼″ — the foundation is not part of the kit.
- 2The roof boards come with it; the roofing layer does not. The 1:12 slope needs a membrane, rolled or metal roof — shingles are not allowed below 2:12.*
- 3Protect the wood in the first weeks. The spruce arrives sanded, kiln-dried and untreated — stain or paint it soon after the build, in the color you pick. See our Paint and Stain Guide.
* Buy roll roofing or clear panels whose sheet says 1:12, and seal every lap on screw-down metal. See our roofing guide.
See every measurement →Estimate only, not an order: we ship the kit and add-ons; the foundation, roofing and stain come from your local store.

- Assembly may take 8-20 hours, depending on your skill level, but you only need a few basic tools to assemble this beautiful garden shed.
Your new shed will have to be stained or painted to protect it from the elements. You may choose traditional products at your local hardware store, or explore some greener options.
This shed requires roofing - any flat roof systems, metal roofing, rolled roofing, or PVC roofing are great options. Shingles are not suitable for a structure with a low-slope flat roof.

Customer reviews
What shed owners say.
Well designed cabin for multipurpose use
“Excellent, clean and open design with sufficient light and ventilation. Large entrance door and two side windows that one could walk through, give a great look and ventilation scope. Pricing is well balanced and customer service is great. Helpline will answer the call, either directly or post voice mail! Do try the California shed if you are looking for your own office, as well as a multi-purpose room to use for entertaning friends, doing your own meditation, music or reading, and more! Great design of cabin, good material quality, easy to assemble, good customer service. We use it for multiple purposes - office/work, entertainment, meditation, music, casual meetings and gossips!:-) Igna at SolidBuildWood.com has been superhelpful and is always there to answer your queries and doubts. I would highly recommend getting your next dream cabin from SBW!”
Verified buyer · 13th Jul 2024Everyone was super responsive
“We built this to use as an office/studio. It’s amazing! It really fit our needs and is beautiful!Everyone was super responsive and helpful!”
Verified buyer · 26th Jun 2024Would Do It Again
“Wow!!!! Exceptional company and product. Ordered and was delivered in 1 week! That’s not a typo…. Hardest part was prep work before hand. Kit arrived beautifully packaged. Would recommend you have a few friends handy for unloading pallet. I’m a 63 year old woman and after the joists and subflooring (subflooring not included) were down it almost build itself. Being a 63 year old woman I packed each piece out to poolside and in 4.5 hours had it assemble to over windows and doors single handed. Husband helped put in windows and door frame..and we completed the gable and roofing together on day 2. If you were starting from a new concrete pad this could have been up in a day. The Norwegian spruce is fragrant and absolutely love the finish on interior and exterior. Would definitely buy from Solid Build again! We had a mini split installed and it will let me use this “Studio” in Arizona year round. Love it!”
Verified buyer · 10th Apr 2024We absolutely LOVE our shed!
“We are extremely happy with our California shed. It was easy to put together and the instructions were 98% correct and easy to follow. Where instructions were lacking, common sense and logic saved the day. One small wall piece was missing but we had an extra long piece so it was easy to cut one to size. We live in California and the earth moves a lot, so we built our own gravel foundation for the shed as extra earthquake protection. We also added a thick rubber roof and painted it, and it survived the winter rain without a leak or crack. We are impressed with how sturdy the shed is. We were both moving about a lot on the roof when we added the rubber roofing, and it did not budge. Inside, the wood is beautiful and light and smells wonderfully. We love the light that comes through the French doors and the four tall windows and are glad that we chose this particular configuration (the California shed). We were going to use this shed for storage but love it so much that we instead are going to use it for reading and taking coffee breaks from gardening.”
Verified buyer · 25th Feb 2024Love the shed
“Love the shed. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The wood was of good quality with no significant warping or flaws. The delivery went smoothly and the design is great.”
Verified buyer · 7th Jan 2024Best backyard shed ever
“Although this was one of the least expensive options I considered for a backyard studio, I really feel it was the best choice. I love the design of my California modern shed. The cute little scallop details are awesome. And it came standard with a lot of things that were $$$ add-ons at other companies, like windows that open and double French doors. I also love that it’s non-toxic and eco-friendly. It took a bit of work to get it installed (foundation, roof, paint) and you have to be aware that it’s a living structure and sort of moves a bit over time. But it’s so nice sitting inside and looking out through the double doors into my yard, while my dog guards my privacy lol. I’m glad I chose this company.”
