A Backyard Observatory? Why Not. 

Seriously, go ahead and shoot for the stars. John dreamed of a place to stargaze, and Tuff Shed was the solution. His brand-new Tuff Shed was fully customized to make his dream come true and one day be used as a backyard observatory.  

John isn’t the only one. There are plenty more Tuff Shed customers who have made their buildings the perfect place to enjoy the stars.

Serving Up a Self-Serve Farmstand 

Tiffany left her corporate career to become a farmer. She needed somewhere to sell her flowers, homemade soaps, and produce — that would lock up securely at night. 

She had already turned one Tuff Shed into a DIY chicken coop, so she turned her second shed into a self-serve farmstand

A Brewery Barn 

We see a lot of home offices, backyard gyms, and DIY bars — but Julie takes that a step further with her very own Tuff Shed brewery barn. She has space to work on all her beer-brewing projects, with a bit of extra space left over for crafting and hanging out with family and friends.

A Climber’s Paradise 

The ability to climb in any weather, at any time is a climber’s dream. Jason and Allison made that dream come true with a Sundance Series TB-700 to house their Moon Board — an indoor climbing wall. 

They used the online configurator to add all the custom touches they needed to make their climbing space perfect

Meet the Mullet Shed

Speaking of backyard bars, Scott wanted both storage and a place to sling drinks outdoors. He came up with the mullet shed: party in the front, storage in the back
