This was a definite challenge. Built during covid, we faced all kinds of issues with supply shortages, a three-week concrete strike, and a shortage of storage space due to their basement being renovated.
The work took place over 2 years as a result of the issues. We had to build the shed in the fall without the slap so it could be used for temporary winter storage. We poured the slab the next year and moved the shed by hand onto it. That is not bad, considering it was 16′ x 10′ and weighed close to 1000 lbs.
The design started with a drawing the client had of the shed similar to the one she envisioned. The pergola was a mish-mash of ideas and parts to create something we think is quite beautiful.
