Shed of the Month: WFH Bungalow


8x10 Peak Design Shed
Josie's Peak Design Backyard Office

Josie and her family live in a small bungalow style home in a highly desired neighborhood they love. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are on the small side and it would be very costly to sell and re-purchase a larger home in the same area. Since both her and her husband work from home now and plan to keep doing so, it became apparent they needed some more space!




What's New: Legal and Design


There are two new items affecting backyard spaces. One is legal and the other is design.




Tech View: Why Panalize?


To crane, stick frame or panelize? The backyard studio space has been growing as people find out they can build an additional small structure in their backyard to use for any number of things including mancaves, she-sheds, guest rooms, home offices, and art studios to name a few. Modern Shed started bringing this to light in the early 2000’s. The then owner and his wife, being architectural students, researched different ways to put an art studio/storage space in their backyard. They examined and compared stick frame construction to prefabricated buildings and came up with a better solution than both.

The answer depends on several factors. Size and use being the primary ones. Every building jurisdiction in the country is different. We strongly recommend checking with your municipality to understand the specifics as there are different permits for different types of structures, especially if there is a kitchen and or bath involved.
