$529.00$599.00
Backyard structures for pets & gardens
The whole family lives out here.
Catios, coops, hutches, kennels and raised beds — built from solid wood, with a real roof, so your backyard works for everyone in it.
An indoor cat lives 15 years.
An outdoor cat lives 3.
Nobody should have to choose.
So we build the third option — walk-in garden rooms, coops, hutches and beds that give animals the outdoors and give you back the afternoon.

The collection
One backyard, five structures
Every Fernstead building uses the same frame system and the same finishes, so a catio, a coop and a raised bed look like they belong to the same house.
Rabbit Hutches
FERNSTEAD Hutch LW03
A two-story hutch with a full ground-level run, natural light wood finish, deep pull-out tray and a ramp your rabbit will actually use.
$239.00$279.00
Raised Garden Beds
FERNSTEAD Grow GB04
A 4x4 raised bed with a rigid hinged mesh canopy built in — not a floppy fabric cover. Keeps rabbits, squirrels, deer and cabbage moths out; lifts open for planting.
$249.00$289.00
Dog Houses & Kennels
FERNSTEAD Den DH05
An insulated, raised, solid-wood dog house with a covered porch, door flap and hinged roof — built for dogs that are actually outside in January.
$169.00$199.00
A garden that works for everyone in it.
Cats with somewhere safe to sit in the sun. Hens with a run you can stand up in. Vegetables the rabbits cannot reach. And a family with its afternoons back.
Our story
The fern and the homestead
Fern for the green things that grow in the shade of a yard. Stead for a homestead — a place with a fence, a gate and animals in it. Fernstead is where those two meet: the part of a home that lives outdoors.
We started with one frustration. If you want a cat enclosure, a chicken coop or a covered raised bed that will still be standing in five years, you either pay a carpenter thousands of dollars or you buy a flat-pack that arrives warped, unmarked and short of screws.
So we build the middle. Real materials and real joinery, made in our own woodworking factory, packed into cartons a person can carry, with instructions written by someone who has actually assembled the thing.
Why Fernstead
Built for the weather, not for the photograph
01
Kiln-dried solid fir
Never particle board with a printed wood wrap. Wood dried properly does not twist through its first wet season.
02
19-gauge galvanized mesh
Hardware cloth, batten-strapped at every edge. Netting keeps birds in; it does not keep raccoons out.
03
A roof that sheds water
Pitched corrugated steel with an overhang, not asphalt felt on thin plywood that leaks by year two.
04
Assembly you can finish
Every panel laser-marked to match a full-colour manual, with a QR code to a build video. Two people, under an hour.
