The First Studio has Successfully Shipped

STUDIOS, greenhouses and sheds, can now be shipped anywhere in the US or Canada!
Our experiment to see if you can ship a studio or greenhouse has been a success! This one went to Thousand Oaks, CA. I met it on the other end and put it together. It arrived in perfect shape and went together like a charm.

The freight shippers were amazing. Although we learned a thing or two about how to package these, I learned from this that the glass is actually safer in a freight trailer than in the back of my own vehicle.

Although I won't be able to meet every greenhouse I ship, I am now confident that we can build a structure that is reasonably easy to assemble on the other end.

The First Greenhouse Gets Shipped

Finally our first out-of-state greenhouse/studio is on the truck, and on its way to LA! We custom built a large crate for this. Our goal is to eventually fit a greenhouse on a single pallet.

While assembly is not normally included in the shipped structures, I will fly to LA next week to make sure my first one arrived in one piece. I will take pictures while we assemble it, with the hope of a 1-2 day assembly.

Watch the blog for more pics of what I think is my best one yet!

Prototype Drawings

By the end of August we will have 2 lines of studios/greenhouses that can be shipped.

The first is a shipable version of the greenhouses and studios we have already built. It will be shipped in panels ready to assemble.

The second will be a mostly-polycarbonate model. The aim on this line will be to keep Little Mansions Designs' creative look while keeping construction and shipping costs down. You will have the option of choosing several different roof designs, door designs, and side panel designs. We can make curved roofs, round doors, gothic windows...all with wood and dual walled polycarbonate panels.

For those who like these options but also like the reclaimed window look...we can design the front around reclaimed doors and windows.

I am currently taking orders for these. For the next 6 months these greenhouses/studios will be completely custom.

Below is some of the first drawings. More are to come!
