Do you look at your backyard and want more? Not more land, but more substance. Do you yearn for a sanctuary in your backyard, but have no idea how to do it? Is your backyard simply a wasted space?
This is how many homeowners feel about their backyards, but if you really want to create your own fabulous outdoor sanctuary, here’s five easy ways to achieve your dream.
1.Veggie garden
If you have always wanted to grow your own veggies, then it’s easy to create your own plots in your backyard. You can repurpose flower beds, dig up some of the lawn or install raised garden beds for easier access to your veggies.
2. Kids playground
Install a classic swing set, slide, activity area or build a tree or cubby house in your backyard for the kids. You can even create a sandpit or put up goal posts for a game of footie. Whatever you choose to do, the kids will love it!
3. Potting shed
If you are an avid gardener then why not treat yourself to a lovely timber potting shed? They are more expensive than aluminium sheds, but they look awesome and are definitely worth the money.
4.Outdoor retreat
A freestanding outdoor room, whether used as a studio, home gym, hobby room, workshop, home spa or parents retreat makes a wonderful addition to your home. These multi-purpose outdoor spaces (also called garden rooms) are so versatile they can be used for just about anything!
5.Storage
If you can’t fit your cars in the garage because its full of boxes and other unused belongings, then it’s time for more storage space. So why not install a storage shed in the backyard and free up your garage?
