Quaint ‘she-shed’ 2.5m x 5m with veranda at Marayong, Sydney NSW

Much is said about man-caves but a rising number of ‘she-sheds’ and ‘sheila-shacks’ are being built DIY or professionally in backyards all over Australia. This quaint, cottage-like example at Maryong, in western Sydney NSW, represents one woman’s BIG dream – just a LITTLE space!

Take a look at our delighted customer’s photo gallery, project details, and testimonial below: This cute, cottage-like garden studio started out as a basic flatpack Backyard Pod kit 2.5m x 5m with a veranda/deck kit also available from Backyard Pods. Our customer chose Colorbond Classic Cream for the exterior cladding, with her own choice of decking materials, windows and door, and interior fit-out.

“In early 2021 I started a new job that due to COVID my employer was happy for me to work from home. After working from my dining room table with so many interruptions from family and pets I decided I needed to move out!

After researching different options and budgets I decided to build a garden office and stumbled on BackyardPods Australia. The team including the installer were exceptionally helpful with my needs and concerns and I’m delighted with the final result. The garden area is still a work in progress but with what I have, I love. I spend more than40 hours a week in my little den.

Fitted out with floating floorboards, high-quality insulation, ceiling fan, gas (connected by an approved gas bottle on the back of the building. Power points throughout and as an added bonus the office is a workout area with my treadmill. Outside the gutters are connected to drainpipes that run into 3 connected mini water tanks. Very handy for my tomatoes!”
