Build an Outdoor Room This Weekend

Planter's Pad

Build the structure next to your garden for an easy-access -- and shaded -- planting station. Use 2-x-8-foot sheets of corrugated aluminum (purchased from a home center) to create the roof. Designer Jeni Hilpipre-Wright cut the sheets with tin snips and screwed them into the structure. She overlapped the seam at the top and covered it with an aluminum roof cap.

Tip: For a three-season version, Hilpipre-Wright suggests putting polycarbonate plastic siding around the exterior to create a greenhouse.
