Forever Redwood Kid's Backyard Cabin

Please note all Forever Redwood orders are custom made to order. Product lead times range between 3 - 18 weeks.

The first Backyard Cabin was designed for an 8 year old young lady that needed a place to get away from her 3 brothers. A “No boys allowed” sign soon sprung up. The Backyard Cabin is a wonderful retreat for kids of all ages. We recently had a customer order one with the comment: “it will be my stylish doghouse that my wife threatens to send me to!” Any size, any height – custom designed to fit your needs. Free US Shipping (excludes HI & AK). Our full service installation team is available in all 50 states.

Shade Structure Checklist - From Design to Done

• The Backyard Cabin can be made any size up to 16’ x 16’.
• You can adjust the wall height, the size of the front porch and even the layout of the windows and doors.
• The Cabin is fully erected in the shop for easy re-assembly. No drilling, sanding or cutting needed. Ships in finished panels that bolt together.
• Detailed Drawings are emailed within 5 business days.  You can change any detail or dimension to ensure your Gazebo will work perfectly for you and your space. Once we receive your initial order and 1/3 deposit, one of our In-house Engineers will be assigned to your project, sending you custom drawings for your structure within 5 business days. Together, you will communicate back and forth. With our expertise and your dream vision, together we will make it real.
• Every Gazebo is custom built:  you can choose from our standard sizes and options. If you don’t see a size or detail you’d like, let us know.
• The standard design  is to have the outer skin, doors and windows built in California Redwood for maximum longevity. The standard design uses Douglas-Fir timbers for internal framing, ceiling and floors and all hardware is stainless steel.
• Our wood Gazebo Kits are guaranteed to last decades.  Redwood outlasts teak and cedar. We use oversized timbers, Stainless Steel hardware, and the best weather resistant sealant.
• Roofing:  You have many options for your Gazebo's roof: you can have a shiplap roof (overlapping wooden roof boards), or you can choose a standard option like metal asphalt shingles. The shiplap roof is the traditional option, and is very beautiful although it requires regular cleaning and resealing while the standard roofing options like metal and asphalt hold up well for decades with only an occasional light power washing to clean up.
• Strong and Sturdy:  Solar panels are no issue to add on top. Our Wood Gazebo kits are strong enough in their standard design to withstand 60mph winds in most cases and a moderate snow load. If planned for a heavy snow or high wind area, we can add structural strength during the design phase.
• You Install or We Install?  Choose the White Glove Assembly as you check out to have one of our crews onsite to do the heavy lifting for you.
• Our White Glove Assembly is available in all 50 states.  If you'd like us to do the assembly for you, we can send our installation team anywhere in the US. Just choose the White Glove Assembly option as you check out. This service includes assembly, anchoring, and details like adding flashing, curtain rods and roofing. White Glove Assembly costs anywhere between 25-45% of the cost of your structure. We are happy to provide a specific quote for you during the Design process as we finalize the details together. If you have an old structure that needs to be taken down and disposed of, let us know. We can generally add this to the scope of work.
• Turnaround Time & Financing:  We can build in 2-3 weeks, but we recommend ordering 2-3 months in advance to give you time to fine tune each detail via our design and drawing process. You can take advantage of our 1/3rd deposit option to spread the cost over several monthly payments.
• Bring back the Old Growth Forests:  Your purchase supports restoration forestry projects in the Redwood Forests of Northern California.  Find out more about how it is actually necessary to cut some trees down in order to recreate the Old Growth ecosystem!

Like all of our Forever Redwood prodcuts, the kid's backyard cabin can be used in all seasons, under almost any weather condition. Send us your specific requirements and we can have your detailed plans sent back to you within three days.

Our White Glove Assembly is a complete onsite assembly and anchoring service. Our installation teams are now available in all 50 states! Know more about our Wite Glove Assembly service.

DIY:  For moderately-sized structures (up to 400 sqft.), some of our customers choose to save money by doing the assembly themselves. In general, the larger the structure, the more people and time you will need: we recommend a minimum of 3 people. If you have assembly questions, just give us a call! 

Care:  You should expect your furniture to last outside for a minimum of  10-40 years without maintenance,  even in climates with harsh year-round conditions. Because of our high quality wood,  the silver patina that will naturally occur is surface deep (less than 1/64") and is not indicative of decay.  We keep our display items without refinishing as examples show off their natural aging.  We like the patina! If you’d like to keep your set looking its best for decades please visit:  Care and Finish.

Our secret to making furniture and shade structures with unmatched outdoor longevity begins and ends with our wood: we use generous amounts of the most decay resistant wood available. 

To keep your Forever Redwood product looking its best, we only use the highest quality stains and sealants. 

Our Primary Customer is and always has been the homeowner who appreciates the kind of quality that will last decades.

Our products are regularly purchased by organizations that appreciate longevity: The U.S. Forest Service, U.S. military installations, State and City parks, Golf Clubs and Hotels to name a few.

We offer the option of having your post anchors and hardware made in stainless steel for areas of high humidity or with low ground water conditions.

We are favored by many landscape architects and contractors because they can count on exceptional quality and quick personal service to complete projects.  

Before shipping, each item is built by hand and constructed in the shop to ensure that your order is finely finished and carefully inspected. Old-fashioned hand building allows us to customize each and every item to perfectly fit your needs.

Because we are a Regenerative Forestry Company and carefully manage our own forests, you have a choice between 6 Wood Grades with extended warranties against decay.  

Every Forever Redwood product comes with a warranty against decay.  The length of the warranty depends on the wood grade you select.  No other outdoor furniture manufacturer offers decade long warranties like we do!  The key to our success is in the wood: its excellent quality combined with extra-thick timber. 

We have 6 Wood Grades. Below are listed each Wood Grade and its Decay Warranty:

• Old-Growth Redwood-- 30 years
• Mature Redwood-- 20 years
• California Redwood-- 15 years
• Mosaic Redwood-- 12 years
• Douglas-fir-- 10 years
• Mosaic Douglas-fir-- 10 years
