5 Smart Ways to Customize your Northland Gardening Shed

Creating a garden shed on stilts is an awesome way to make your backyard retreat feel like a treetop getaway. Build your shed high enough so it is off the ground, but not so high that hauling gardening gear becomes cumbersome. Add decorative trim to the exterior of your horticulture hut, paint your front door in a perky color, and you’ll have a gorgeous gardening outdoor storage shed you can be proud of.

Living walls and green rooftop gardens are growing trends in the architectural community. Gardening junkies can craft their own take on the eco-friendly architectural trend by adding plant life to the roof of their gardening shed. Make sure your rooftop is waterproof and your shed is structurally sound before adding extra weight to the top of your backyard planting paradise.

For gardening enthusiasts who want to go all-in on their agricultural abode, consider covering your backyard shed in vines. Choose a vine variety that grows quickly and adds lattice to the exterior of your outdoor shed to make it easier for the vines to climb and cover your garden shed.

Not every garden storage shed needs to be a standalone structure. Something as simple as an alcove carved into an existing fence can serve as a vestibule for your gardening gadgets. Organize your garden tools, add a fold-out tabletop, and you’re all ready to set to work on your latest gardening tasks

If you want to double the size of your garden shed, think about adding a large shelf and roof overhang to your horticulture hangout. Spending time puttering with plant pots and soil is made even more enjoyable when you can feel the breeze at your back and listen to the birds chirping nearby. Be sure you add a soft surface to stand on while you’re tinkering with your tulips or pruning your petunias. Don’t be surprised if your neighbors are attracted to your practical garden shed and mimic your design when they build their own garden getaways.
