Sheds & Playhouses

To play and to garden: Those are the true joys of having a home with a yard. What makes playtime and garden time even better? Maybe it's a structure to encourage the imagination of little ones or to stash oft-needed and oft-used tools. We have some of the most fun features you can include in a playhouse for children; check out ideas for adding a pint-size version of your house to your yard. For the practical gardener, garden sheds can be multipurpose structures for organizing tools, equipment, and supplies. If designed with the right features, a shed can also provide a space for potting up plants. Get motivated to build your own with our gallery of shed ideas. The most elaborate garden sheds sometimes function as greenhouses; this garden shed idea will have you tending your green thumb even on the coldest winter days. If you have a shed but find yourself with organizational challenges, don't despair; use our pointers to keep tools stored neatly. Finally, if your four-legged garden residents need a spot to call home, too, use our doghouse plans.
