Crossings is a modern residential subdivision in Post Falls, part of the new-construction growth filling in Kootenai County between the Spokane River and the Rathdrum prairie. The homes are recent builds — current siding palettes, clean elevations, and tidy developer-graded lots — so an outbuilding here has to look like it was planned with the house. We build custom sheds on-site in Crossings, framing and finishing right on your lot so it matches the neighborhood. Most owners come to us for a trim storage shed to take the garage overflow or a finished home office in the backyard. Because the building goes together where it sits, we work to the grade the builder already set and place it exactly where you want it — not just where a pre-built box could be wheeled through a tight subdivision gate.
A custom shed built on-site in Crossings, Post Falls — trimmed and colored to match the subdivision's modern homes.
Crossings lots are newer and platted on the compact side — fenced, flat-graded, and usually reached through a side gate or off the driveway rather than a wide open side yard. That makes placement the first thing we work out, so the shed protects your usable backyard instead of swallowing it. A modern-roofed she-shed or garden shed in the 8x10 to 10x14 range fits most of these yards and still leaves the patio open. We site the building to the lot, then set it back per the subdivision plat and Post Falls zoning for accessory buildings.
Matching the architecture is the rest of the job. With every home on the street freshly built, a shed that misses on roof pitch, trim, or color stands out fast, so we pull siding and color straight from your house and keep the rooflines consistent. Crossings runs an HOA with architectural standards, so read the design guidelines and submit for written approval before the build — the permits page covers how City of Post Falls and Kootenai County setbacks fit on top of the neighborhood's own rules.
Crossings carries an HOA with design standards for outbuildings. Submit the style, roofline, siding, and color for approval before the build begins.
Lots are newer and tightly platted. We size and place the shed to keep your yard open and hold the subdivision's required setbacks.
Siding and color pulled from your home, with rooflines that line up, keep the shed reading as part of a recently built house.
Yes. Crossings has an HOA with architectural standards, so plan to submit your shed for review before the build. The committee typically looks at style, roofline, siding, color, and placement to confirm it fits the neighborhood. Because we build on your lot, we spec the roof, trim, and color around whatever you get approved. That HOA approval is separate from any City of Post Falls permit, so plan for both.
Tie it straight back to your house. The homes here are recent construction with current siding and colors, so a clean gable or low-slope roof with siding and color pulled from your elevation reads far better than a rustic building. Since we frame and finish on your property, we line up the roofline, door, and window placement with the house. The configurator is an easy way to preview a contemporary look before you submit it for review.
Crossings lots are compact and tightly platted, so setbacks from your property lines matter more than on an acreage parcel. The exact distances come from the subdivision plat and City of Post Falls zoning for accessory buildings, and the HOA may add its own placement rules on top. Confirm both before you settle on a spot — our permits page explains how the city and Kootenai County rules fit together, and we place the shed to keep your yard usable.
For most Crossings lots, an 8x10 to 10x14 is the sweet spot — room for storage, a home office, or a she-shed without crowding the patio or fence line. An 8x12 is a popular middle ground for storage that still tucks against a side yard. We size the footprint to your lot and the look the HOA expects, so it stays in proportion with a newer home.
Most Crossings backyards are reached through a side gate or off the driveway, and we plan the build around that access. Smaller footprints in the 8x10 to 10x14 range are the easiest to bring in and assemble in a compact, fenced yard, which is part of why they are common here. Tell us how your lot is reached — side gate, driveway, or open side yard — and we fit the build sequence to it without pulling out fence panels.
