Amazon’s Selling A Guesthouse ‘Kit’ That You Can Build In Your Backyard In 8 Hours
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 guesthouse, 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.

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 says it’s “currently unavailable.” Anyone who desires it, however, can order it on 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.
