Why Backyard?

01

Elevated design,
expertly crafted

Every square inch of Backyard is thoughtfully considered—from its lofty cathedral ceilings to the generous built-in storage. Designed with premium, long-lasting materials, Backyard brings out the full potential of your property.

02

Fast and easy
installation

Backyard arrives with minimal disruption: just eight weeks of on-site work. We handle every part of installation, from securing building permits to project management, so you can focus on the things that truly matter.

03

Solar-powered
and future-ready

Backyard is designed for solar. Adding our solar array allows it to run “net zero”, and can even cut down the utility bill for your main home. Plus, Backyard is prewired for batteries, ready for the next generation of clean energy solutions.

Five sizes. Tons of possibility.

Studio

Way small. Yay big.
