Extend the Growing Season: Build Yourself Much More Than Garden Shed

Do you think of a garden shed like a tiny storage shed in the back of the yard? Those of us who live with changing weather patterns over four seasons might need something more. How about extending the growing season, even creating a garden shed for year-round production? A pole barn structure with the glass wall could be a mighty fine addition.

Where in the business of building customized pole buildings – big and small post frame structures. You decide how much more area you need. Next determine how to turn a favorite pastime into your own Victory Garden of sorts. You are the one to imagine areas for seedlings, small plants, dirt and fertilizer storage, windows, porches, and even whether you would like a root cellar.

A Premium Garden Shed in Colorado

How do you go from the idea of a tiny garden shed to something more elaborate? Jot down the activities you would do if you had more space. Say now you keep your lawnmower in your gardening tools in the garden shed. Yes, you could add a sunroom and a rack of seedlings in the spring.

Consider a 15-foot-wide pole barn instead. Make it tall and decide how deep. Higher ceilings give you space to store extra soil and pots, as well as the height to accommodate bigger windows, ceiling fans, and more shelving. Design built-ins to keep you organized. This is where you can store seeds, labels, maps of your projects, orders, and even wrap gifts. How about floral arrangements?

A side door and overhang for extra seating and moving plants outdoors. The design will depend on the building site and sun exposure. Do you need a water source? Hopefully, there is a sprinkler system or access to the well. Outdoor fencing can spare your harvest from pesky rabbits and deer that may prematurely harvest your crops. These are beginning considerations for building you an enhanced garden shed.

Anything Else You Need?

But this is where it gets fun. What else is on your back burner? A pole building readily accommodates multiple activities. For example, add a horse stall on the back or a place for the pool table. Anything is possible, including an area set aside to sell what you grow – and more.
