Nick owns some awesome property near the Cascade Mountains, and while he originally intended to use it for personal vacations, he realized later it was a good opportunity to make money doing some short-term rentals. The “Clay Baby” is a shed kit he purchased and had delivered pre-built back in 2019.

At the time, the shed cost $8k, and he put another $22k into adding plumbing, electricity, and finishes to create a cute vacation cabin for a couple. There’s a bathroom, cozy living space, kitchen with a dishwasher, and two loft bedrooms. Could you live in this?

Studio Shed is located in Boulder, Colorado and was founded by two people who love small houses but needed extra space.

A studio shed could be for storage, an office, meditation room, or anything else that you can think of.

Materials

The sheds come in prefabricated pieces and they use FSC-certified lumber. They’ve engineered the design to produce minimum waste.

Fabrication, Shipping, and Construction

The panels are fabricated in their building then they are packed and shipped to the customer’s site. They put everything together for you.

Permits

In most parts of the United States permits are not required for structures under 120 square feet. For this reason their 8×10, 8×14, and 10×12 models are more popular. Always check with your local regulation before making a decision.

Pricing

Pricing starts at just $6,200 for a small 8×8 shed. You can use the configure option to customize your own shed–including its size, trim, color, windows, foundation, and installation through their website.
