Avondale is an established golf and lake community in Hayden, Kootenai County, built around the Avondale Golf Club on the south end of Hayden Lake. The homes have been in for years — finished, landscaped, settled — and lots range from fairway frontage to parcels with lake access. Unlike a raw subdivision, the streets are mature and the neighborhood already has a look, so a new shed has to read like it belongs rather than announce itself. We build on your lot in Avondale, on-site and trimmed to sit with the home — usually a finished she-shed in a back corner or a tidy place to get boat and lake gear off the patio.
A custom shed built on-site in Avondale on Hayden Lake — sided and trimmed to match the established homes along the Avondale Golf Club.
Avondale lots vary more than a typical subdivision — some front the fairways of the Avondale Golf Club, some sit on interior streets, and others run toward Hayden Lake with dock and shoreline access, a few dead flat and others picking up grade. Because we assemble in place, we site the shed to your lot: build up a level pad where the ground steps away, keep it square and draining, and bring material through a standard driveway or side gate rather than craning a finished box over the landscaping. A 10x12 to 12x14 she-shed or storage building fits most yards without crowding the patio or blocking a fairway view.
The bigger job is the HOA. Avondale carries recorded covenants (CC&Rs) and architectural review for outbuildings — siding, roof color and pitch, height, and placement — with extra weight on lots that front the course or hold a lake view, so pull your covenants and get written approval first. We spec the siding, roofline, and trim to match your house and the established street. The permits page covers how Hayden and Kootenai County setbacks fit with the community's rules, plus the shoreline setbacks on lake-access parcels.
Avondale has recorded CC&Rs and architectural review for outbuildings. Confirm siding, roof, color, height, and placement rules — and get written sign-off — before the build.
Lots that front the Avondale Golf Club or hold a Hayden Lake view often face tighter rules on height and placement. We size and site the shed to clear review without blocking sightlines.
Homes here are finished and the yards are mature. We build up a level pad where the lot grades toward the course or the water and protect existing landscaping while keeping usable yard open.
Yes. Avondale has recorded covenants (CC&Rs) and architectural review for outbuildings — typically siding, roof color and pitch, height, size, and placement — so pull your covenants and get written approval first. That sign-off is separate from any City of Hayden or Kootenai County permit, so plan for both, and we spec the shed to the look you get approved.
Usually, yes. Lots that front the Avondale Golf Club or hold a Hayden Lake view tend to carry tighter limits on height and placement and anything that interrupts sightlines, so confirm what your lot allows before you settle on a spot. Because we build on-site, we keep the footprint low and tuck it where it clears review.
Tie it back to your own house and the settled look of the street: in a built-out neighborhood, a shed reads best when its siding profile, roof color and pitch, and trim are pulled from the home. Because we build on your property, we line up the roofline, door, and window placement with the house — preview siding and color in the configurator before you submit for review.
Your shed has to sit a minimum distance from the side and rear lines, set by City of Hayden and Kootenai County zoning and the plat, with the CC&Rs often adding view rules and lake-access parcels carrying shoreline setbacks. Confirm all of them first — our permits page explains how they fit together, and we place the building to respect the lines and keep your views open.
Yes, and it is a common request given the Hayden Lake access — a boat and gear shed keeps life jackets, wakeboards, tow ropes, paddleboards, and dock hardware off the patio in one lockable building. We size it to your lot, finish it to match the home, and keep placement inside what Avondale's review and any shoreline setbacks allow.
