Ways to Use Your 8×12 Cabin in New York

What are some creative ways you could put an 8×12 cabin to use? Have you considered turning your little cabin into a she-shed, or how about a mini greenhouse? Let’s look at a few ways you could put an 8×12 cabin to use.

Guest Room

A little cabin could be used as a guestroom for friends and family and anyone else who comes to visit and needs a place to sleep. Though an 8×12 cabin is close quarters and wouldn’t offer a lot of room for a full small-house setup, it would have ample space for a small bed and a few other accessories. Just what you need to host someone for the night. A small cabin can be built with electricity and plumbing to make it more comfortable and efficient.

Playhouse

Need a place for the kids to get away? A small cabin can be turned into a playhouse and even can come with a porch on the front or the side for the kids to play on. Add shelving to your cabin to store toys and other miscellaneous objects, and provide your children with a safe place to get away and let their imaginations run wild. Think of what features you would like in your 8×12 cabin to create the best possible playhouse for your kids.

Home Office

Maybe you work from home and are tired of dealing with the noise and other distractions inside the house. Check out our prefab 8×12 cabins and see how you can turn one into your own home office. Adding a porch on the front of the cabin could be the ideal solution for when you need some fresh air and a clear mind. Be sure to customize your little cabin to create an atmosphere conducive to study and productivity. Add your favorite chair, desk, rug, shelves, and more!

It is important that your cabin is well-ventilated and is not susceptible to moisture and other bacteria and mold growth that come with it. Consider adding some of our vent options, like a ridge vent in the peak of the roof that allows air to escape through the ceiling, or a cupola vent that adds an attractive touch to your cabin while letting additional light into the interior.
