Garden Shed

A Garden Shed is an invaluable addition to our property enabling us to store our gardening equipment, tools and even vehicles in there as well as contributing to our garden's appeal.

7 out of 10 households are having challenges with storage and garden sheds can certainly help as we can store many things in sheds that would otherwise end up in our garage.

You can build your own DIY garden shed or you can purchase a DIY shed kit. You can achieve fantastic results either way. I did decide to design and build my own garden shed and very happy with the results but nowadays there are easy to assemble kit sheds available that really look fantastic.
The real addition to my shed was that I managed to build it from about 97% recycled material. I used fencing timber to build the shed but the possibilities are only limited by our imagination.
I see more and more landscape designers incorporating colour still sheds into their design achieving great results. My personal landscape design was better suited for a timber garden shed and I spent a lot of time on the design. The construction of the shed was also labor intensive, took me 4 days to construct. The surroundings probably could have accommodated a significantly cheaper still shed as well but I already had the fencing timber that I was determined to recycle. The final resorts speak for themselves, if you like the design, and have timber that you could recycle, it might be worth considering building a similar garden shed.

I hope you enjoyed the above thought on how to build your own garden shed.

Hi Albert,

Thank you for the comment, much appreciated.

It was a great project just a little time consuming. I needed a garden shed pretty bad as I was very short on storage myself.

Good luck with your garden shed project!

Cheers.

Hi There,

Very good idea to create a garden shed from recycled materials, well done. Storage is always short and a shed can be great assistance.

We’ll think about this idea as I am about to build a shed myself.
