Solana 13 x 10 modern shed | 80 sq ft + 40 sq ft
Description
The SolidBuild® Solana is the modern shed built around outdoor living. A striking 4 ft structural canopy with support pillars creates 40 sq ft of permanently covered outdoor space — a shaded lounge area, a protected grilling station, or an elegant entryway — all attached to an 80 sq ft finished solid wood interior. Crafted from FSC-certified Norway Spruce with a sleek contemporary profile, it's the top pick for a pool house, Airbnb guest cabin, home office with porch, or a sophisticated backyard focal point. In stock — ships within 3 weeks.
What makes the Solana unique among SolidBuild modern sheds?
The 4 ft structural canopy and support pillars aren't a decorative detail — they're a genuine outdoor room. Sit under the covered porch in the evening, set up a grill beneath the overhang, leave your outdoor furniture protected year-round, or simply give the structure a resort-like presence in your yard. Inside, the same smooth-milled Norway Spruce finish found across the SolidBuild® lineup creates a move-in-ready space: no drywall, no exposed framing, no finishing required. The total footprint of 13 ft × 10 ft gives you more visual presence and usable space than a standard 10×10 at a price that's hard to match.
What can I use the Solana for?
The covered canopy expands the Solana's use cases well beyond a typical shed:
- Pool house or cabana — the canopy creates a natural shade and changing area adjacent to the water
- Airbnb or guest cabin — private covered entry gives guests a genuine arrival experience
- Home office with a porch — step outside for air without leaving your workspace
- Outdoor kitchen or BBQ shelter — the 4 ft overhang protects a grill setup from rain
- She shed or personal retreat — the covered sitting area doubles as an outdoor reading nook
- Art studio — natural light from windows, covered outdoor space for large-scale work
- Children's playhouse — the covered porch becomes a rain-proof outdoor play area
- Garden storage — protected entry keeps mud and equipment from entering the main room
What's included with the Solana kit?
Included:
- Double door with glazed panels (dual-pane glass)
- Side windows (dual-pane glass)
- 4 ft structural front canopy with support pillars
- T&G solid wood floor kit (pre-cut spruce + pressure-treated joists)
- T&G solid wood roof boards
- All fasteners, hardware, lock, and keys
- Assembly manual + downloadable blueprint
Not included: Foundation · roofing material (flat roof systems, metal, rolled roofing, or PVC — shingles not suitable for low-slope roof) · exterior paint or stain.
Can I add electrical and make it weather-resistant year-round?
Yes. Run surface-mounted conduit along the solid wood walls to bring power into the Solana — conduit clips fasten directly to the T&G wall surface. The roof can be insulated above the T&G boards, and the floor can be insulated between the joists from below, making the enclosed 80 sq ft space comfortable year-round with a small heater or mini-split. The 40 sq ft canopy area is already weather-protected by the roof overhang.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly takes 8–20 hours with two adults, a power drill and a few basic tools. All parts arrive pre-cut. A comprehensive assembly manual, downloadable blueprint, and video library guide every stage. SolidBuild® support at (800) 590-2508, ext. 1 is available throughout.

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."

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!"

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
