An Inspiring Storage Shed Transformation

Recently, we had some clients from Burleson, TX, contact us with a unique request: they wanted to convert an existing storage shed into a greenhouse-style potting shed. With retirement on the horizon, they hoped to pursue more of their favorite hobbies, which include gardening. They knew their existing 16x24 storage building had some great potential after seeing a garden shed our team designed for a friend of theirs several years ago. After discussing their hopes and ideas for the shed, our team was able to bring their project to life!
Project Year: 2020
Project Cost: $25,001 - $50,000
Country: United States
Zip Code: 76028
The original shed had a small window and entry door on the southwest side and a roll-up garage door on the southeast end. Inside, there were two storage sections divided by a wall and a door.

To create a larger, more usable space, our team removed the interior wall and door to convert the separate storage areas into one big room.

The entry door was kept on the north west corner, opposite the windows, as to allow a nice breeze through the building in the summer. For the times when it is just too hot or cold, we insulated the walls and attic and installed a mini split A/C unit for the space.

Because the garage door was in pretty good shape, we were able to re-use it instead of purchasing a new one. It’s new location beside the entry door allows for easy access to lawn equipment and other stored items.

A new concrete driveway was added to accommodate the relocated garage door, along with an exterior light and convenient water hose – perfect for rinsing off lawn equipment or watering gardening projects. The exterior of the building also got a refresh with new paint.

Inside, we built cedar benches and work tables to allow for plenty of space for pots, plants, and gardening tools. A convenient utility sink was also installed, along with ample lighting over the work area.
