Nothing beats a Tennessee summer night spent in a Buildings Plus gazebo or pavilion. Whether you share the night with friends, family, or just the cicadas and tree frogs, it provides the perfect backyard oasis.

The experience is made substantially better by Scenic View add-on options, such as screening to keep the mosquitos out and the table clean. If you expect to use the space for reading or other relaxing activities, consider hanging a porch swing in the center instead. Otherwise, choose from a variety of available benches and other design options, such as flower boxes or a cupola with a weathervane. Fancy!

As you tour our lot full of sample buildings, they might feel a little bare. These buildings arrive on our lot with the studs visible, both to allow for any interior finishing you might want and to highlight the structural quality of our builds.

We can recommend top-tier services to help finish out any cabin, but Scenic View buildings in particular come with the option of a white pine finish. White pine is a gorgeous finishing material for the perfect combination of rustic and natural, and spacious and airy. Its light coloration helps expand the area, and white pine has a golden, honeyed look when sunlight hits it through your windows.

That makes this finish an ideal interior, opening the space and upgrading the feel with an understated but lovely look. If you choose a Scenic View building, be sure to take advantage of this finished interior option!

Ever wanted to experience an old-timey saloon in your backyard? Scenic View’s Western sheds are a popular option, for enthusiasts and general interest alike.

Western sheds offer all of the same features as the other cabins and sheds available at Buildings Plus: reliable construction, custom options, and competitive pricing. What really makes them shine is that front face with the recognizably Old West design. Neighbors might think you pulled the structure right off of an 1800’s street and placed it in your backyard. After that, the possibilities are endless; of course, we can’t help but recommend that you deck it out with lights and a bar for drinks with friends on summer nights.

Of course if you’d prefer, garden sheds are a versatile option. The standard build comes with a pergola over the porch, perfect for climbing vines and hanging plants. Turn your humble flower garden into a paradise, with ample room to store all of your gardening tools and either work on new plans or gather a harvest.

The animals that help out around your household deserve nice living quarters in return. Scenic View offers structures designed to provide just that, without breaking the bank.

The run-in horse barns in particular compliment our Western sheds well, with ornate latches on the Dutch doors and a 5’ kick board, plus options for a tack room. The chicken coops are similarly nice digs, complete with cozy nesting boxes and plenty of space for a growing flock. They also have doors leading to an optional chicken run.

The dog kennels are excellent accommodations for man’s best friend. Heavy duty welded wire, chain, or tartar panels all keep your hound around without shutting him inside, while the spacious interiors give him plenty of room to ride out inclement weather or bed down for the night. These kennels are attractive and can be made to match your house.
