It's not a difficult decision to place a shed when designing your garden is it? Or is it?
What the owner of this garden has done is make the shed a focal point. Along with the washing line and blue fences. It's a very, very common mistake.
The solution to the shed problem, in this case was obvious. There was a space round the side of the house which allowed it to be tucked away out of sight. The rotary washing line was replaced with a retractable one and the fences were painted green.
Painting fences, pergolas, sheds etc in the garden, not only gives the wood an extra preservative layer, but will make it ‘disappear’ into the background. So if you have a shed as a focal point at the bottom of the garden, and if it really can’t be moved to a less dominant position try this trick:
The shed has almost disappeared simply by painting it green. We also gave the garden a makeover so that it was more accessible for the elderly owner who was finding it more and more difficult to bend down. Raised beds are the answer to that problem. Simple!
