Standard Construction · What the Price Covers

What Your Appalachian Country Cottage Includes

Cottage Styling with Extended Eaves, Larger Windows, and Distinctive Architectural Details

A shed price only means something when you know what is included in the building. Every Appalachian Country Cottage is built with the structural components, exterior features, doors, windows, ventilation, and finish details shown below.

These are part of the standard building — not upgrades added later to make the starting price look lower.

01

Structural Foundation

Foundation & Floor System

Built From the Ground Up

The floor system carries the building, everything stored inside it, and the daily traffic the shed receives for years to come.

  • Heavy-duty 6x6 pressure-treated foundation beams
  • 2x6 pressure-treated floor joists installed 16 inches on center
  • 3/4-inch exterior-grade plywood floor
Why This Matters

Once the shed is finished, the floor is hidden for good. Buyers often ask what is under the building. Beam size, joist size and spacing, and floor decking are the first things to compare between quotes.

02

Structural Protection

Roof Framing & Sheathing

Structural Roof Assembly

The standard roof system includes engineered framing, plywood roof sheathing, and the finished architectural-shingle roof.

  • 2x6 engineered roof trusses
  • 1/2-inch exterior-grade plywood roof sheathing
  • Architectural roof shingles available in 16 colors
Why This Matters

Engineered trusses are designed to carry the roof load across the width of the building, and plywood sheathing gives the shingles a solid, continuous surface to fasten to.

03

Cottage Architecture

Cottage Roof & Gable Details

Extended Eaves · Vent · Transom Glass

The extended roofline, cottage-style ventilation, and transom glass above the gable-end door create the architectural character of this model.

  • Extended eave overhangs on the gable ends
  • Cottage-style louver vents for ventilation
  • 5-foot transom window over the double door
Why This Matters

These features are built into the structure. They define the Appalachian Country Cottage — they are not decorative add-ons applied afterward to create the appearance.

04

Exterior Selections

Siding, Colors & Exterior Finish

Choices That Fit the Property

Exterior selections allow the Appalachian Country Cottage to complement the home, property, and surrounding landscape.

  • Five siding systems: LP SmartSide Vertical Panel, Roseburg DuraTemp, LP SmartSide Board & Batten, Forest Ridge Vinyl Lap, and LP SmartSide Lap
  • 23 building sizes, from 8′ × 10′ to 14′ × 24′
  • Low-maintenance vinyl lap siding available in 14 colors
  • Decorative shutters available in a choice of 10 colors
Why This Matters

You choose the siding and colors that suit your home and landscape. The price sheet above shows every size and siding combination, and anything optional is listed separately on the Options & Upgrades page.

05

Everyday Access

Doors, Hardware & Floor Protection

Double-Door Access · Keyed Hardware · Protected Threshold

The standard double-door package provides practical access with durable hardware, keyed security, and protection at the floor threshold.

  • Six-panel low-maintenance 5-foot double door on the gable end
  • Heavy-duty door hardware
  • Door lock with key
  • Steel sill plate on the floor of the double-door threshold
Why This Matters

A 5-foot double door opens wide enough for mowers, furniture, and workbenches. The keyed lock secures the building, and the steel sill plate protects the threshold where floors wear first.

06

Natural Light & Airflow

Windows, Trim & Screens

Larger Windows · Added Trim · Removable Screens

Larger single-hung windows, added white trim, and removable screens provide useful natural light and distinguish the Country Cottage exterior.

  • Two 30-inch by 40-inch large single-hung windows on the side wall
  • 1x3 white trim molding surrounding the window frame
  • Removable window screens
Why This Matters

Windows that open bring in light and airflow, the trim finishes each opening cleanly, and removable screens are easy to clean and store.

Construction Method

Built On Site

Constructed at Your Property

The Appalachian Country Cottage is built on site at its intended location. It is not delivered to your property as a completed building and simply placed in the yard. On-site construction allows the structure to be assembled as a complete building where it will remain.

Structural Protection

30-Year Structural Warranty

Long-Term Structural Protection

Every Appalachian Country Cottage includes the Appalachian Sheds 30-Year Structural Warranty. The structural warranty is part of the building — not an optional protection package added after the purchase decision.

Before You Compare Prices

Compare the Building, Not Just the Price

Two sheds with similar dimensions and similar prices can be very different buildings once you examine what is underneath them. Ask every builder these questions, and get the answers in writing.

  • Foundation beam size and material
  • Floor joist size and spacing
  • Floor decking material
  • Roof framing and sheathing
  • Door and window construction
  • Ventilation
  • What is standard versus what costs extra
  • Structural warranty coverage

Every answer for the Appalachian Country Cottage is in the specifications table at the top of this section.

Pricing shown is based on selected size and siding type and covers the standard exterior structure only. It does not include interior finishes of any kind. Optional upgrades, interior finish selections, site preparation, delivery, site-specific requirements, custom details, and applicable taxes are not included unless specifically identified in the final written price. See the Options & Upgrades page for complete interior finish pricing.

Exterior Appearance · Five Siding Choices

Choose the Siding That Fits Your Property

The Appalachian Country Cottage keeps the same underlying Signature Series construction and cottage architecture. Your siding selection changes the exterior character—from a straightforward painted-panel finish to a more residential lap profile or a stronger board-and-batten architectural appearance.

Engineered Wood · Vertical Panel

LP SmartSide Vertical Panel Siding

LP SmartSide Vertical Panel Siding gives the Country Cottage a clean, durable engineered-wood exterior while allowing its extended eaves, larger windows, transom glass and cottage-style trim to remain the primary architectural features.

  • Vertical engineered-wood panel appearance
  • Clean painted finish that works well with cottage detailing
  • Starting-price siding used in the Country Cottage calculator
Best FitHomeowners who want a straightforward painted exterior with the Signature Series cottage features clearly visible.
LP SmartSide Vertical Panel SidingSiding Image Placeholder
Wood Siding · Vertical Panel

Roseburg DuraTemp Wood Siding

Roseburg DuraTemp Wood Siding provides the familiar character of a traditional painted wood-panel shed while complementing the Country Cottage's extended roofline, larger trimmed windows and transom detail.

  • Traditional vertical wood-panel appearance
  • Paint-ready exterior with natural wood character
  • Simple profile that keeps the cottage architecture visually prominent
Best FitBuyers who prefer the familiar appearance and texture of a traditional painted wood-panel exterior.
Roseburg DuraTemp Wood SidingSiding Image Placeholder
Architectural Vertical Profile

LP SmartSide Board & Batten Siding

LP SmartSide Board & Batten Siding adds stronger vertical shadow lines and a more architectural farmhouse character to the Country Cottage without changing its underlying Signature Series construction.

  • Distinctive vertical board-and-batten appearance
  • Deeper shadow lines create greater exterior dimension
  • Pairs naturally with the Country Cottage's extended eaves and window trim
Best FitProperties where the building should feel more architectural and intentionally coordinated with farmhouse or cottage styling.
LP SmartSide Board & Batten SidingSiding Image Placeholder
Low Maintenance · Residential Lap Profile

Georgia-Pacific Forest Ridge Vinyl Lap Siding

Georgia-Pacific Forest Ridge Vinyl Lap Siding gives the Country Cottage a familiar horizontal residential appearance with a low-maintenance exterior that can coordinate closely with many homes and detached garages.

  • Horizontal residential lap-siding appearance
  • Low-maintenance exterior finish
  • Strong visual match for many residential properties
Best FitHomeowners who want the cottage architecture paired with a clean residential vinyl exterior.
Georgia-Pacific Forest Ridge Vinyl Lap SidingSiding Image Placeholder
Engineered Wood · Residential Lap Profile

LP SmartSide Lap Siding

LP SmartSide Lap Siding gives the Country Cottage the horizontal lines and refined proportions of residential clapboard while retaining the character of an engineered-wood exterior.

  • Horizontal engineered-wood lap profile
  • More refined residential character than a basic vertical-panel exterior
  • Complements the Country Cottage's windows, trim and extended roofline
Best FitHomeowners who want a more residential horizontal-siding appearance without choosing vinyl.

Is the Appalachian Country Cottage the Right Building?

The Country Cottage is built for homeowners who want more than plain backyard storage. Its extended eaves, larger windows, transom glass, and cottage-style ventilation give the structure a more finished architectural presence — especially where the shed will be visible from the home, garden, patio, or driveway.

The Appalachian Country Cottage is distinguished by extended roof eave overhangs, larger windows with added trim, a cottage-style roof vent, and a transom window above the gable end door. Those features give it a more finished architectural presence than a plain utility shed.

This model works especially well when the shed will be visible from the home, garden, patio, driveway, or outdoor living area. It gives you practical storage while looking like a purposeful part of the property — not an afterthought.

Five siding choices let the same cottage architecture flex from a straightforward painted finish to a natural-wood or shake-textured presentation, so the building can still be dialed toward the exact appearance the property calls for.

A different shed model becomes worth comparing when the priority is the lowest possible starting price for straightforward storage, or when the project needs significantly greater upper interior volume, specialty access, or a different overall roof form.

Project Goal
Cottage Fit
What to Consider
Storage visible from the house or patio
Strong Fit
One of the clearest use cases for the Country Cottage's extended eaves and larger windows.
Curb appeal near the home
Strong Fit
The transom glass and cottage-style vent are architectural details built for a property-facing position.
Practical storage that still looks finished
Strong Fit
Combines everyday storage function with a more purposeful architectural appearance.
Straightforward, lowest-cost storage
Compare Models
If cottage architectural detail is not a priority, a simpler model may offer a lower starting price for a similar footprint.
More overhead or loft volume
Compare Models
If upper interior volume is a major priority, compare roof forms before choosing the final shed model.
Very large specialty access
Compare Models
Large-opening requirements may point toward a different overall building configuration.
Finished office or studio
Plan Carefully
Electrical, insulation, interior finish, window placement and intended occupancy should be planned as one complete project.
A Useful Rule

Do Not Change Models Just to Add One Useful Feature

A larger window, upgraded door, ramp, electrical package, shelving, loft or other useful option does not automatically make the Appalachian Country Cottage the wrong building. Compare another model when the overall roof form, access needs, interior-volume requirements or architectural objective have changed — not simply because one upgrade makes sense.

Beyond the Price · Planning and Options

You Have the Price. Here Is What Comes Next.

Once the Country Cottage size and siding are established, the remaining decisions are about how you will use the building and how it will be positioned and prepared on your property.

Options & Upgrades

Make It Work the Way You Need It To

Doors, windows, ramps, lofts, shelving, workbenches, electrical, insulation and other upgrades should solve an actual use requirement rather than simply add features.

Starting with the standard Appalachian Country Cottage makes it easier to identify the options that improve the way you will use the shed without losing the cottage character that makes the model distinctive.

See Options & Upgrades →
Site, Placement & Pad

The Right Building Still Needs the Right Place to Sit

Crew access, building placement, drainage, final elevation, working room around the shed and foundation preparation all need to be considered before construction begins.

Site conditions do not change whether the Country Cottage is the right model, but they can affect preparation requirements, access planning and the final written project price.

Appalachian Country Cottage FAQ

The Questions That Usually Come Up About Price

What exactly does the pricing calculator show?
The calculator shows the standard building price for the exact Appalachian Country Cottage size and siding selected. Site conditions, access, placement and requested upgrades are reviewed before the final written project price is confirmed.
Does this price include any interior finishes?
No. The price shown covers the standard exterior structure only — foundation, framing, roofing, siding, exterior doors, and windows. It does not include any interior finishes of any kind: no insulation, no drywall or wall finish, no flooring, no electrical or lighting, no HVAC, no interior trim, and no interior paint. If interior finish work is part of your plan, it is priced separately as an option. See Options & Upgrades for complete interior finish pricing →
Which siding gives the lowest starting price?
LP SmartSide Vertical Panel Siding is the starting-price siding used in the Country Cottage calculator. Once a building size is selected, the calculator displays the available prices for all five siding systems.
How is the Country Cottage floor supported?
The standard floor system uses heavy-duty 6x6 pressure-treated foundation beams, 2x6 pressure-treated floor joists installed 16 inches on center, and 3/4-inch exterior-grade plywood flooring.
What makes the Country Cottage different from a standard shed?
Extended eave overhangs on the peak ends, a cottage-style louver vent, a 5-foot transom window above the double door, and larger single-hung windows with added trim give the Country Cottage a more finished architectural presence than a plain utility shed.
Is the Appalachian Country Cottage built at my property?
Yes. The Country Cottage is built on site at its intended location rather than being delivered as a completed prebuilt structure.
Can I add windows, doors, lofts, electrical or insulation?
Options and upgrades can be reviewed after the standard building size and siding have been selected. Those requested features are then incorporated into the final written project price.
What warranty is included with the Country Cottage?
Every Appalachian Country Cottage includes the Appalachian Sheds 30-Year Structural Warranty, which is part of the standard building rather than an optional add-on.

Additional questions about construction, siding, upgrades, site preparation and project planning can be reviewed before the final build is confirmed.
