Foxtail is a residential subdivision in Post Falls, tucked into the family-home grid on the north side of town near the Prairie and Greensferry corners in Kootenai County. The homes here are the kind families settle into — two-car garages, fenced backyards, and kids' bikes by the front door — and that garage almost always fills up faster than anyone planned. We build custom sheds on-site in Foxtail, framed and finished right on your lot, so the storage you add looks like it came with the house. For most owners that starts with a tidy storage shed to take the overflow, though plenty of Foxtail backyards end up with a garden shed by the fence or a finished room out back.
A custom shed built on-site in Foxtail, Post Falls — sided and colored to match the subdivision's family homes.
Foxtail lots are typical Post Falls subdivision lots: flat, builder-graded, fenced, and reached through a side gate or off the driveway rather than wide open to the street. Building in place is what makes a shed work on a lot like that — a finished building rarely fits through a 4-foot gate, but our crew assembles it where you actually want it instead of the front corner where a trailer could reach. A storage shed or garden shed in the 8x10 to 10x14 range fits most of these backyards and still leaves the patio and the kids' run of lawn open.
Matching the home is the part to plan first. Foxtail is a cohesive family neighborhood where the houses share a look, so an outbuilding that misses on roof pitch, trim, or siding color stands out quickly. We pull siding and color straight from your house and keep the roofline consistent so the shed reads as part of the property. Foxtail runs an HOA with architectural rules, so pull your covenants and submit for approval before the build — the permits page covers how that stacks on top of Post Falls and Kootenai County setbacks.

Yes. Foxtail is a residential subdivision with an HOA and architectural rules, so plan to submit your shed for review before the build. They typically look at the style, roofline, siding, color, and where the building sits to confirm it fits the neighborhood. Because we build on your lot, we spec the roof, trim, and color around whatever you get approved — once you have the covenants and submittal form in hand, we build the shed to match. The permits page explains how that fits with Post Falls and Kootenai County setbacks.
Tie it straight back to the house. Foxtail homes share a cohesive look, so a clean gable roof with siding and color pulled from your elevation reads far better than a rustic, mismatched building. Since we frame and finish on your lot, we line up the roof pitch, trim, door, and window placement with the home so the shed looks like it was always there. The configurator is an easy way to preview a matching look before you submit it for HOA review.
Foxtail lots are platted at typical subdivision sizes, so setbacks from your side and rear property lines matter more than they would on an acreage parcel. The exact distances come from the Post Falls zoning for accessory buildings and the subdivision plat, and the HOA may add its own placement rules on top. Confirm both before you settle on a spot — our permits page covers how the city and Kootenai County rules fit together, and we place the building to keep your required setbacks and your usable yard.
Most Foxtail backyards are reached through a side gate or off the driveway, and we plan the build around that access. Because we assemble the shed in place rather than rolling in a finished building, a 4-foot gate or a narrow side yard is not a dealbreaker — we bring materials back and frame on the spot, no crane and no pulling fence panels. Tell us how your lot is reached and we fit the placement to it. Smaller footprints in the 8x10 to 10x14 range are the easiest to work into a compact, fenced yard.
For most Foxtail lots, an 8x10 to 10x14 is the sweet spot — enough room for the mower, bikes, garden tools, and the seasonal overflow that fills a two-car garage, without crowding the patio or the kids' lawn. An 8x12 is a popular middle ground for storage that tucks neatly against a side yard, and a 10x12 gives a little more depth for a workbench or a she-shed corner. We size the footprint to your lot and the look the HOA expects so it stays in proportion with a family home.
