Three things to know before you buy

  • 1
    Plan a level base. A gravel pad, slab or deck blocks sized 12′1″ × 10′1¼″ — the foundation is not part of the kit.
  • 2
    The roof boards come with it; the roofing layer does not. The 3:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or roll roofing.*
  • 3
    Protect 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.

* Between 2:12 and 4:12 lay shingles over two layers of felt or an ice-and-water shield. See our roofing guide.

About this shed

The details.

Bridge the gap between a simple SolidBuild®️ shed and a full home addition. This kit's French doors and premium Norway spruce construction offer an organic, high-end look that serves as a focused workspace today and a luxury guest retreat tomorrow.

Invest in a backyard fixture that combines the ease of a DIY kit with the structural permanence of a cabin. This 13x11 model uses 1 3/8" thick precision-milled logs, creating a sturdy, multi-purpose environment that enhances your home's utility and curb appeal.

For more light and air, consider adding an extra window. And to make your outdoor shed even more attractive, check out the flower box and window shutters!

  • The shed comes with complete windows and door, roof boards, T&G floor, and all hardware.
  • Assembly may take 8-20 hours, depending on your skill level, but you'll 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 - shingles (over two layers of felt or an ice-and-water shield), metal roofing, rolled roofing, or PVC roofing are all great options.

In stock, expected delivery within 3 weeks, depending on your location.

  • 117 sq ft area;
  • 52" wide double door and tall windows;
  • Includes T&G solid wood roof boards, T&G solid wood floor, and all hardware. Does not include foundation, roofing materials or paint;
  • Premium double Tongue & Groove wood construction;
  • 2 ft overhang;
  • Easy DIY assembly in 1-2 days (only basic tools and 2 crafty adults required);

Common questions

Before you order.

Yes — free curbside freight to the lower 48 states. The kit ships flat-packed on one pallet of about 2,000 lbs. The carrier will arrange a delivery window with you; the delivery line above the price is the current estimate. The pallet is too large for a liftgate, so for standard delivery, plan to have two people available to unload it by hand. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Driver-assisted unloading and expedited delivery are available for an additional fee.
At 117 sq ft, the Bristhol shed may not require a building permit in some locations, but requirements vary. Check with your local building department before you build. Every kit includes a blueprint you can provide if requested.
A level, well-drained base sized 12′1″ × 10′1¼″, flat within ¼″. A compacted gravel pad, deck blocks or a lumber frame all work; a concrete slab is the premium route, not a requirement. A simple DIY base usually takes an afternoon and costs around $370–850 in materials. The foundation calculator gives the shopping list and cut list.
The 3:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or roll roofing. Budget $320–1,630 for 176 sq ft of roof area. The roof boards themselves are in the kit. Between 2:12 and 4:12 lay shingles over two layers of felt or an ice-and-water shield. See our roofing guide.
Plan on about 2 days with basic tools — hammer, drill, level, ladder. The wall boards interlock tongue-and-groove, so no framing skills are needed. The manual, the blueprint and the video library come with the kit, and our support line answers mid-build questions. A local handyman or an assembler would be one to hire.
Yes, within the factory-verified layouts. Wall panels can be assembled flipped and the left and right walls mirrored, so the included windows and door can sit at either end of their wall — you choose during assembly, at no cost. The layouts marked with a window add the paid double window (one or two, as marked); you cut those openings yourself with our instructions. The included windows never move to the back wall, and the factory does not open the pallet or swap boards — every layout uses the same kit. The layouts are pictured on the Bristhol model page.
Yes — the Bristhol model page has the paint studio (a 3D model you can stain or paint on screen), a true-size AR preview for your phone, the layout options and the size drawings. It is the same kit.
Damage you see at delivery: note it on the Bill of Lading and call 1-800-590-2508 ext. 2 within 1 business day — the carrier claim needs it. Parts you find missing or damaged while you build: call ext. 1 within 30 days of delivery and we'll take care of it. Missing or damaged parts are replaced free of charge. The 1-year limited warranty covers manufacturing and workmanship defects.
