The plans include details for various backyard foundations (gravel, paving stones, etc.), along with instructions for constructing in the trees if you’re feeling adventurous. Plus, there's room for a tiny wood stove on either side of the door. Check out a video of our build here. SIZE: 118 sq ft. Footprint measures approximately 10x12 ft. Total height is 10.5 ft.
