Sonoma Shanty Grand Opening
I am excited to invite you to the Grand Opening of SonomaShanty.com. This has been at the back of mind ever sense Stephen Marshall and I got together to design this little structure.
My goal with this website is to show off your completed shanties and to show the many options that are available using this simple design and layout.
Stephen just completed the first Sonoma Shanty. This shanty has been set up to be used as a garden retreat away from the big house. With fine wood floors and detailed walls, this retreat shows what a high end shanty can look like. When completed it will have a small kitchen and be a perfect place to come away from the big house and relax and enjoy the garden and gazebo.
The Sonoma Shanty has been designed to be used as a tiny house, shed, garden retreat, home office, homeless shelter or whatever your imagination can see for this space. Stephen is in the process of creating more floor plans so you can visualize what can be done using the Sonoma Shanty plans. So come visit the SonomaShanty.com site today.

If you purchase the plans you can subtract the cost from a workshop or a kit. If you attend a workshop that amount will also be deducted from a kit or finished Sonoma Shanty.
