Building a Pool Shed for a London, Ontario Backyard

This homeowner in London, Ontario needed a dedicated storage option positioned right at the edge of their pool and hot tub. Loose pool gear, chemicals, and seasonal equipment had nowhere clean to live, and the space next to the pool deck called for something built to match the yard rather than a generic box store shed.

Backyard Escape Studios delivered a 12x8 Essential Pool Shed, sized to sit comfortably along the pool fence line without crowding the deck.

This Pool Shed's Charcoal Siding and Pine Barn Door

The shed's left and right walls use charcoal corrugated metal siding, with a dolphin grey panel on the rear wall for a subtle two-tone look. A natural, unstained pine barn slider door anchors the front, fitted with three Lexan glass window openings that let light into the interior without sacrificing privacy.

Galvanized hardware runs the length of the sliding track, and the slanted roofline gives this London pool shed the clean, modern look the homeowner was after.

A Complete Shed Swap for This London Backyard

Part of the project included taking down the homeowner's existing shed and recycling the material, so the new Essential Pool Shed could go in without leaving debris behind. For this London property, that meant one visit handled both removal and installation, with nothing left for the homeowner to coordinate on their own.

"We purchased a shed for our backyard, and everything about our experience was amazing. When first looking at their website it was obvious that they take pride in how their sheds/studios look, but we were equally impressed with the entire buying/installation experience."
Customer
"Decided to go with Backyard escape studios for my backyard structure project after conversing with Gabriella over email and phone chats about what I wanted to achieve and then meeting with Sebastian at the work shoppe."
"Sebastian and team were fantastic. Living in Toronto we don’t have a lot of outdoor green space, so getting a shed with a green roof was a complete win and we love it! Level of service from day 1 was fantastic and super impressed by the installation crew that worked tirelessly all day in crazy heat to get the job done in a day. Thank you, thank you, thank you - we love it."
