BB designed the entire backyard build using the free version of SketchUp. You can see the renderings below (which closely resemble the finished product of all three builds [shed, raised beds, and greenhouse]).
Backyard Grow Build – SketchUp Design
Author: squashthedaily
Greenhouse
After a lot of research, we chose to go with Tuff Shed for the Greenhouse. BB designed the entire setup of the backyard grow build in SketchUp, and then used the Tuff Shed website to customize the greenhouse build. Tuff Shed cuts everything off site, and builds it on site where you specify.
This Tuff Shed build is 10×8 with two sets of sliding glass doors. Window adds and skylights finish off the generous sun component of making this shed into a greenhouse.
The result is a beautiful complement to the shed and garden beds.
An update on customized specifications coming soon!
Raised Bed Build
June 2022 – we built two raised garden beds as part of our backyard grow project.
The beds are 8 feet long x 30 inches wide x 28 inches deep.
The materials list: 2x4s, 1x4s, plywood siding panels, furring, 3 mil plastic sheeting, and paint to match our home and Tuff Shed.
Each raised bed has been installed or attached rather to our sprinkler system (properly outfitted to top off with a nozzle – not yet installed). More on how this works out later!
Beds will be filled with a soil mix of my own creation in the next few weeks. Soil post coming soon!
