Some of the more experienced DIY-ers have been talking about this project for a while, creating a huge buzz about it online. And if you like to build things as well, it might be right up your … backyard. This ‘garden house’ by Allwood can be converted into a guest home, a studio, garden house, pool house, or truly anything your heart desires, and it shouldn’t be harder to assemble than your typical IKEA purchase.

“[The] Solvalla garden house kit is made from high quality solid Nordic wood,” the company writes on its website. “This timeless design is an alternative to classic log cabin styled structures. It works well in a variety of surroundings and can be a guest house, home office, granny flat, or even a retail space. Versatile Solvalla can also be set up on rooftops of multi-story buildings. Assembly of this solid wood structure takes a full day for two adults. Do it yourself simple step-by-step directions come with the kit and only minimal tools are needed.”

Amazon had been selling the product, but say it’s “currently unavailable.” Everyone who desires it, however, can order it at the official Allwood website for $6,550 (the shipping’s free). The only things you won’t find in the kit are roof shingles and foundation materials. Allwood estimates they will cost about $150 and $170 respectively.

Also, there’s no bathroom but Allwood states that “adding one is not difficult,” as you can purchase indoor bathroom kits to DIY also.

If you want to add anything extra like HVAC or electricity to this DIY home, you’ll need to figure out how to do that yourself. It doesn’t include any of these amenities.
