When most people think of sheds, they envision a plain, simple structure that can store tools or gardening equipment. But what if we showed you that your backyard shed could be used for so much more?
From mother-in-law suites to backyard spas, sheds are quickly becoming an extension of the home. And, it’s easier and more affordable to do than you may think.
A backyard shed from Lancaster Barns can offer endless possibilities for creativity and functionality. Check out a few of these unique shed ideas – they might just inspire your next outdoor project!
The Mother-in-Law Shed
Also known as a granny flat, mother-in-law cottage, or in-law suite, this concept is perfect for anyone who needs to provide a convenient and comfortable space for extended family.
By transforming a traditional shed into an in-law shed with a cozy living area, complete with a bed, bathroom, and even a kitchenette, you can offer privacy and independence while keeping loved ones close by.
Plus, creating an in-law suite shed is more cost-effective than building a full-scale home addition or renovating an existing part of your home to accommodate extended family. And adding a shed to a backyard is much less disruptive than doing remodeling work in your current home.
The Outhouse Shed
Looking for a fun and unique addition to your property that takes you back to much simpler times? Consider an outhouse shed!
That’s right – outhouse sheds aren’t just for nostalgic whimsy. These types of sheds can be equipped with modern plumbing and eco-friendly composting toilets.
They’re a practical yet creative solution that can serve as a unique guest restroom or the perfect ‘go-to’ spot for backyard parties.
The Backyard Spa
Wouldn’t it be nice to transform your backyard space into a calm oasis with a spa shed? With a
bit of creative shed design and customization, Lancaster Barns can make it happen!
Envision a quiet space that can be customized to include a sauna, jacuzzi, and relaxation area.
And you can take your backyard spa experience to the next level by adding some ambient
lighting, soothing music, and plush towels.
It’s the perfect retreat for escaping reality and unwinding after a long day – right in the comfort
and convenience of your own backyard!
The Golf Shed
If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’ll swoon over the idea of having your very own golf shed.
Set up a putting green or practice net to sharpen your golf skills year-round. You could even add a small lounge area to hang out with your fellow golf friends.
