Studio Shed: After retiring from a world of crunching numbers for more than 30 years, Virginia Violin decided to devote more of her life to color.
Ever the artist, Virginia has always occupied her hands with some craft — sculpting, knitting, needlepoint and weaving have all been passions of hers at one point or another.
But it wasn’t until she retired from a career in accounting (she’s worked in the oil and telecom industries, and most recently was an accountant for the literary nonprofit Seattle Arts & Lectures) that she decided to get serious about her art.
The only problem was, she didn’t really have the space in her Vashon Island home to get that serious. Read more ›
Structure in breach of North Vancouver Shed Bylaws:

A North Vancouver man who built a shed on a privately owned lot in the middle of the forest has been ordered by a B.C. Supreme Court justice to take it down.
Justice Gregory Fitch granted an injunction to the District of North Vancouver in December, saying Bill Guest’s 10-by-10-foot shed didn’t comply with local bylaws, which essentially banned any construction on the land.
But following the ruling, Guest said he’s not giving up. Instead, he’s working on a design for a larger home with a sprinkler system and is still hopeful the district will allow him to build it.
All joking aside; Seven years ago when Laura-Lee and I started Westcoast Outbuildings our first “Production Facility” was a $250 a month rented garage in North Vancouver.
We started off building humble Garden Sheds and Backyard Offices. As time progressed we took on larger and more complex buildings including multi module Off-Grid Cabins, Tiny Houses and Park Model RV’s and full size Laneway houses.
For the last several years we’ve been hold-up in an old warehouse space in North Vancouver but we’ve been crammed for space! If you’ve ever been to our facility then you know what I am talking about.
We’ve outgrown our facility and with an impending redevelopment of our entire block into Townhouses and Condos, we knew we needed to move.
We’ve been looking for that PERFECT Production Facility since the fall of 2016, NO LUCK! In retrospect I could liken our search for a new Production Facility to being a UNICORN HUNTER!
This was our dilemma… With the soaring price of real-estate in Metro Vancouver we needed to find a suitable Production Facility with the following criteria:
Enterprise Level Facility
Expandable to meet our growing demands
Overhead Cranes
Industrial Zoning
No Demolition Clause in the Lease.
Long Term Lease option.
Proximity to transportation routes (Road, Water & Rail)
Be AFFORDABLE!
In February 2017 we identified a suitable location to move and began the negotiations. After 9 Months of negotiations the deal was done and the lease signed.
WE DID IT!
Check out our new 89,183 Sq/Ft Production Facility in Squamish BC!
Our new home is on the sprawling 70+ Acre former BC Rail Yards in Squamish. Built in the early 1970’s and known as the “Old Car Shop” our new Production Facility is over 89,138 Sq/Ft in size and is the largest building on the property today. This is where BC Rail would maintain all their rolling stock back in the day before the Government sold it off in 2003.
With the exception of the occasional cameo in Movies and TV Series the Old Car Shop has essentially been vacant for the last 8 years.
These pictures are now a few months old and the cleaning and basic updates have already begun.
The main production floor boasts a 75,000 sq/ft clear span space with two gargantuan Overhead Cranes capable of lifting 20 Tons each. Complimented by 7 partial gantry cranes ranging from 3-5 ton lifting capacity.
Sure its a little rough around the edges but nothing a little elbow grease and perseverance can’t overcome!
Ultimately there are very few things we could not build in a factory of this size and you will be amazed with the new projects we have in production. Plus we are working hard to finalize an entire new product line to be launched in 2018.
The move to the facility is happening as we speak and production will recommence in early December 2017 in Squamish.
With our new enterprise production facility 2018 will bring massive growth for Westcoast Outbuildings but don’t be left out. Even with the increased building capacity there is still a limit on the total number of projects we have manpower to build.
As of right now there are only a couple production spots left for larger projects in the 2018 season.
Bring us your ideas and lets make it happen!
Cheers,

It was time… The existing wooden garden shed had served well but with an ever more distinct list to the left the shed’s days were numbered.
Our client called us wanting to replace the listing structure with a nice new 10’ wide by 8’ Long Contemporary Backyard Office / Storage building. The first 4’ of the building would be Storage and the balance a nice, bright and airy office / craft space.
Over the last 3 years Westcoast Outbuildings has grown into BC’s Premier Builder of Small Structures.
2013 was an incredibly busy year for Westcoast Outbuildings. We smashed our previous year’s sales and sold or installed 33 buildings totaling nearly 3400 sq/ft of floor space.
In the late fall of 2013 we took possession of a 3000 sq/ft production facility in North Vancouver, BC and immediately expanded our product lines.
Whether it be an Accessory Building, Cabin, Shed, Studio, Retreat, Garage, Tiny House you name it we build it and build it well. Read more ›
Our client came to us with a challenge. Their East Vancouver Heritage House didn’t have anywhere to store their classic motorcycles. There was no garage and only a small run down Garden Shed.
The client wanted space to store and work on three motorcycles. It had to be low enough to the lane to allow for easy access but also easy access from the backyard. With nearly 3 feet of elevation difference we had a decent size job ahead of us.
We decided to start with our Contemporary Shed design and customize it exactly to the clients taste. Westcoast Outbuildings also handles all of the site preparation and landscaping required to bring this project to fruition.
The finished product is a fully Modular Motorcycle Garage that is 10’x12’ in size with a 24” overhang out front and a 7’x7’ Rollup Door by Smart Garage.
I think you’ll agree it’s a great little building that would be a great addition to any Backyard.
