A backyard cabin is a small gable-roofed building used as a guest room, studio or getaway. This example is an 8×12 (96 sq/ft) cabin with a covered porch, built for a home in East Vancouver. See the 8×12 backyard cabin gallery for photos, specs and notes on size and permits, or browse all the cabin galleries.
Check the shed rules for your city and the maximum shed size without a permit guide before building.
