When it comes down to adding a storage shed or playhouse to the backyard, the twin urges to do it yourself and have a quality structure can meet. We sell kits for assembling a variety of attractive outdoor buildings in western red cedar, which is similar to redwood in its qualities.
We offer everything from elaborate gazebos to potting benches in precut panels -- including already installed windows and roof-shingle panels -- that are shipped in 4-by-8-foot boxes. Some of the most popular sheds are the 9-by-6-foot Cabana, the Yardsaver and the Rancher. Other charmers are the angled-roofed sunhouse, the playhouse, and the gardener's shed.
All the hardware is included with the instructions. There are several ways to customize. For example, a garden shed comes with two windows and a Dutch door that can go on either end or along the side.
Steven Hopper of Mill Valley, a former landscaper, bought a rancher because he was "sleeping with my tools" and found that it easily accommodated all his garden tools and a work bench. "I put in lighting and use it as an office as well," he said. With a few friends, he was able to construct the 8-by-10-foot shed in six hours. The cedar is a lightweight wood with natural oils that block infestation, and it offers good insulation and a "rich aroma. It has a real mouth to it."
