Today's modern shed designs are practical and modern enough to serve as a home office, a comfortable garden room for entertaining, or even a guest cottage. These are sheds that have been re-imagined for our modern lives and if you can't buy one here in South Africa, there's no reason why you can't make your own.

Imagine a quiet place at the bottom of the garden, shaded from the midday sun by overhanging branches, with fresh breezes cooling your skin as you sit and relax in your very own 'she' or 'he' shed. It's not that difficult to achieve if you look at building your own shed, or at least how you can modify an existing timber shed to meet your needs. A quick online search will point you in the right direction for ready-made shed suppliers in your area and you can look at buying an affordable basic design that can be improved upon for a shed that meets your needs.

If you like to spend time in the garden and love all things gardening, setting up a small garden shed will allow you to devote even more to creating the perfect garden. A combination shed-greenhouse can be constructed using a variety of salvaged items that you can collect over time or pick up on online classifieds. And when you know of someone who is doing alterations, don't be shy to ask for materials they are throwing out - or selling cheap - that you could put to good use to construct a shed.

If there's no space in the house for crafts and hobbies a shed can be the perfect place to set up. Even a small 3 x 4 shed should provide ample space for most art and craft projects, and there are larger shed sizes if you need something bigger.

How you decorate your shed will obviously be determined by your personal preferences and the function of your shed. You can paint a shed to blend in with the surrounding garden, or make it a stand out feature. Interior options can include insulation for all-season use, electricity and water supply, and furniture and fittings to make it a comfortable space.
