Things to Think About When Designing Your Shed

Shed Sizes

We offer standard sizes for ease of production and reduced cost, but all of our garden sheds can be built to custom sizes to fit your needs and available space. The majority of our sheds are built under 160 square feet, which is the allowable size for an accessory structure before a permit is required. If you're looking to build a shed or studio above 160 square feet we can also provide engineered drawings and help you through the permit process.

Windows and Doors

Our most common door is a modern barn sliding door with three glass inserts, but standard swing doors, French doors, or patio sliding doors can also be added to your structure. We offer standard vinyl windows, or if you'd like to save on cost we can build simple wooden framed windows with Lexan glass panels to give your shed some natural light.

Siding

Since the very beginning of Backyard Escape Studios we have been using steel as our main siding choice. The steel reinforcement helps keep your walls rigid and square and you'll never have to worry about rodents or insects burrowing into your studio, shed, or bunkie. Our high quality Canadian steel is as maintenance free as you can get and will easily last decades with no fading or rust. For our front wall we typically use tongue and groove pine, but we do offer shiplap pine and cedar options as well. Check out our Style Guide and our Steel Colour Sheet for some ideas on how to design siding portion of your structure.

Foundation

There are many different ways of building a foundation for your shed. We believe that concrete pads offer the best quality foundation solution and always recommend these first. If the pad is unaffordable or you already have a different pad in place we can still provide a patio stones, interlock stones, gravel pads, concrete, earth screws, or Sono tubes. Our sheds and subfloors can accommodate the most cost-effective and solid foundation that is available in your area. Please contact us so that we can discuss the options that would be best for you. We know that a solid foundation is just as important as the structure that stands on top.

Pricing

Our garden sheds can be as individual as your backyard. Your choice of windows, doors, and siding can greatly change the price of your final product. Our prices are listed on the pages for each model and we keep a record of build costs of past projects if you see something you like in our gallery and would like as estimate on something similar. Please contact us and provide us with as much information as you can of your ideas and we can provide a general price range of what your shed may cost. From there we can provide a sketch and guidance in your selections to help keep you within your budget. We aim to provide a solution for everybody.

How do I get started?

Fill out our contact form or give us a call and provide us with as much information as you can, including your full address (to calculate transportation costs), backyard accessibility (to determine how much needs to be assembled onsite), and detailed ideas of what you envision your shed to look like (size, style, etc.) With this information we can provide a detailed quote.

We pride ourselves on our customer service, if you are a little lost and looking for guidance that's okay too!
