English Style Backyard Shed

spenlo1 | Posted in General Discussion on July 1, 2020 02:41pm

Hello All!

I recently saw a backyard shed a family put in that I absolutely love. I found the website that sells them but unfortunately, they are in UK. I was wondering if anybody might know somewhere to look in the US that may be able to build a shed that has a similar look. I live in California. Thank you guys so much! 

Here is a link to the shed that I want:

    I think you could have one built to the same specs by a carpenter in the US because they are a really simple design. It may even work out cheaper.

      Great!! I will look into that for sure!

    I've built one with my grandpa (like 7 years ago, hehe). It's not that hard to do that on your own, trust me. And I totally agree with Kellyhadago "you could have one built to the same specs by a carpenter in the US because they are a really simple design. It may even work out cheaper." I would love to help you, but I live in Chicago.
    But I also wanna warn you, that you may face another problem: outdoor furniture. It was a real struggle for me at first. Finding a comfy chair and a table on amazon is just impossible, so I've started to read some 'guides', this one was helpful with the chairs (https://www.reclinerland.com/best-outdoor-recliner/) and this one (https://www.homedepot.com/c/ab/best-sheds-for-outdoor-storage/9ba683603be9fa5395fab90428c226d) helped us to look up the construction of sheds.
    Hope it will help you as well!
    cheers

    Just wanted to add that a carpenter isn't going to be able to make a "log" shed. There are however, many log shed/home manufacturers, both small and large who could manufacture one. Areas with Amish or Mennonite populations often build small structures for sale such as these. I'd suggest that you begin a Google search and work your way through them until you find a company that will customize one of their existing sheds for a price that is acceptable to you.
    BTW It is a lovely shed.

      It's chain spam, not a serious question or answer

    It appears to be a "log" style construction in that the walls are built of solid boards that are most likely milled to fit together, such as tongue and groove, and they are stacked horizontally. My local lumberyard sold 2x6 inch pine like this, meant to be used as both a finished floor and ceiling for the room below. It would be certainly something a creative carpenter could reproduce.

    The demand for a backyard shed has grown as our family grows bigger and bigger. There are a lot of agencies that are providing customized outdoor sheds. However, we cannot guarantee all agencies while looking at the quality of their products. I recommend you to look deep into the quality of the logs used for the construction because once it is constructed, we cannot relocate the backyards so quickly.
