Building a Shaker Shed
Watch a time lapse of the construction of a modest backyard shop and storage space modeled after a historic garden shed.
The Fine Homebuilding editors built this Shaker-style shed as a modernized homage to a simple but elegant outbuilding that art director Rodney Diaz spotted at Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, Massachusetts. Built with Boral TruExterior trim and LP SmartSide clapboards over a Cor-a-Vent Sturdi-Strips rainscreen and Zip System sheathing, the project moved along without too many bumps over the course of a week or so. Watch this video to see where the inspiration came from and to get an overview of how the new shed came together.
