It's official: The one thing your backyard's missing is a prefab tiny home. It might sound like a pricey and involved project, but tiny houses that are affordable and easy to build abound. And while Costco sheds are among the most popular backyard builds, you can also shop tiny homes on Amazon. Choose from a wide variety of design styles—cottagecore, modern, colonial—and layouts, from a backyard tiny house for multigenerational living to a modern outdoor guest house, gym, or greenhouse kit.

The second-best thing about an Amazon home (aside from the often reasonable price) is the speed in which you can receive your product. Your tiny piece of heaven can arrive in under a month—good luck finding a contractor who can match that! Whether you're a DIY pro or a crafting novice, you shouldn't have any trouble constructing these tiny houses, which kind of serve as your own custom dream house. Plus, is there anything better than enjoying something you actually made yourself? We think not. Though if you're not feeling particular handy, rope in a friend or parent to help with assembly–you can bribe them with post-build drinks!

If you have big plans to use the unit for more than storage or a fitness room, check your local zoning guidelines and restrictions. Some of the kits include insulation, windows, locked doors, and flooring. To make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, we listed the specifics, including dimensions, materials, and benefits. Below, check out 15 charming tiny houses and storage sheds you'll be proud to own.
