What We Build for Niwot Homeowners

Garden sheds, modern sheds, chicken coops, pergolas, playhouses, and custom structures. All designed for Colorado weather. All built by our crew.

Garden Sheds

Storage, potting, workspace, or all three. Our signature designs combine greenhouse areas, storage lofts, TimberTech decks, and pergolas into complete structures ready to use on day one.

Incline Sheds

A clean, modern design with dual glass doors and 960 cubic feet of storage. Corrugated Corten steel roof develops a natural patina over time. Fits newer neighborhoods.

Chicken Coops and Animal Shelters

Your backyard flock deserves a structure that lasts longer than one season. We build coops with cedar bases, half-inch hardware cloth, exterior-access nesting boxes, and metal roofs. Two options: a standalone 6x8 coop or a 4x6 coop with a 6x8 enclosed run. Both include delivery in Boulder County.

Pergolas and Outdoor Structures

We have built pergolas, arbors, gates, and shade structures across the Front Range for years. We work in wood, mix materials, and incorporate repurposed elements for character. Standalone or attached to one of our sheds.

Playhouses, Shelters, and More

Children's playhouses, cedar firewood shelters, dog houses, and custom pump houses. Every structure gets the same construction standards as our sheds: solid framing, weather-rated materials, and a build that holds up for years.

Custom and Specialty Structures

Our team has designed and built structures of all kinds over the years: gazebos, greenhouses, park shelters, commercial builds, and projects that did not fit a standard category. We have the construction background and the crew to take on work most shed companies would turn down. If you have something specific in mind, we have the experience to design it, price it, and build it right.

local knowledge

We know Niwot.

Panorama Sheds is based in Longmont and works across the northern Front Range. Niwot is 7 miles south of us, just over a 10-minute drive on Highway 119, and we are out there constantly. Niwot is unincorporated Boulder County, which means larger lots, real horse properties, and the kind of acreage where a serious chicken coop and a working garden shed fit naturally. We have built across Niwot Knolls, Somerset Estates, the area around Cottonwood Square, and the rural parcels east of 95th Street. We know the Niwot vibe and we know how to build for it.

More than a shed company.

Site clearing, grading, pad prep, the build, and landscaping around it when we are done. Or just the structure. We meet you where your project is.

Built for this climate.

Heavy snow, intense sun, wind, and wild temperature swings. Materials and methods chosen for the Front Range, not a catalog photo in a mild climate.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a permit for a shed?

Niwot is unincorporated Boulder County, so the County's rules apply. Boulder County allows one detached accessory structure under 120 square feet without a permit on parcels half an acre or less, and two such structures on parcels between half an acre and ten acres. The structure cannot exceed 12 feet in height, cannot have utilities, and cannot violate any conservation easement or land use approval. Anything over 120 square feet, anything with electrical or plumbing, and any structure on a small parcel beyond the limit, requires a permit. Boulder County also recently strengthened wildfire and ignition-resistant construction requirements after the Marshall Fire. Verify with Boulder County Building Safety at 303-441-3925.

How much does a shed cost?

Our structures range from $450 for a dog house to $18,500 for the Traditional Farmhouse Garden Shed. Custom projects with site work vary based on what you are building, how big it is, and what preparation your site needs. We will give you a specific number after we see your property.

How long does it take?

Most custom projects take 2 to 4 weeks from start to finish. Permitting timelines add to that and vary by city. We give you a specific timeline upfront and keep you in the loop throughout the build.

Do you handle site prep and landscaping, or just the structure?

We do both, and we do either one alone. Most shed companies show up, drop the structure, and leave. We handle site prep, pad pouring, foundation work, the build, and landscaping around the structure when you want it. One crew, start to finish. If you already have a contractor handling site work, we just build the structure. Your call.
