A blog post about garden sheds? Yes, I know! But there is your traditional garden shed used for storing garden tools and then your garden shed that is not only sustainable but that can act as an office, entertaining room, or conservatory. Check out my favorite finds… “A state of the art workspace that makes a minimal or zero contribution to global climate change in every aspect of its design, construction, energy-use, and life cycle.” Not for the faint of heart, these manufactured sheds are insulated, sited for passive solar gain, and have solar panels on the roof. Who wouldn’t want to a. have a greenhouse in their garden and b. use it as a workspace? This shed was built with wood from a fence, a great summer project to tear down the fence and build a shed! If you work at home and often find yourself distracted, how about a Solardome in the backyard! They are light and airy and come with a lock. If you have an old trailer, why not move it to the garden? It has all of the space you would need for storage and amenities for an office that’s only a stone throw’s away from home. Ok so maybe the sky lights are a little much, but a green roof is perfect for a garden shed.
