Unleash the Potential: Outdoor Entertaining in Your Shed

 

The Kiwi backyard is an extension of the home, a place for relaxation, barbecues with mates, and creating lasting memories. But what if unpredictable weather throws a spanner in the works? 

Don't despair! Your trusty shed can be transformed into a haven for outdoor entertaining, come rain or shine.

Here at The Wooden Shed Company, we specialise in crafting high-quality sheds that can be adapted to suit your needs. 

Whether you dream of a rustic BBQ haven, a cosy movie night retreat, or a versatile space for all kinds of gatherings, we can help you turn your vision into reality.

  • Grilling Central:  Install a permanent grill or smoker for year-round barbeque bliss. Add prep space and storage for utensils, condiments, and your favourite marinades.

  • Seating for the Crew:  Built-in benches or a large table provide ample seating for friends and family. Consider weatherproof ottomans or foldable chairs for extra flexibility.

  • Festive Touches:  String fairy lights overhead for a warm ambience. Add colourful bunting or plants for a touch of personality.

  • Snack Station Savvy:  Set up a snack bar with shelves for popcorn, sweets, and drinks.

A Multi-Purpose Shed for All Seasons
