The 8 ft. x 8 ft. Sunshed Garden Shed is the ideal space for any home enthusiast. Use it as a greenhouse to get an early start on your growing season, transform it into a hobby house or a retreat, or use it as a simple storage solution.

The panelized walls feature Western Red Cedar cladding already attached to the wall framing at our manufacturing facility.

When you add a shed to your shopping cart the price will default to a Standard Plywood Roof. You can leave it as is with the Standard Plywood Roof or you can choose to upgrade to either a Metal or Western Red Cedar Shingle Panelized Roofing System to best suit your needs!

Installation is easy and safe and requires no dangerous, time-consuming cutting - simply screw or nail components together with the supplied hardware.

Assembly takes two to three days to complete with a helper and the unit includes a detailed homeowner’s assembly manual. Weekend and evening assembly assistance is available through our toll-free customer support line at 1-888-658-1658.>

The 31 in. wide Dutch Door (2 pieces)  gives the shed a charming look while providing additional functionality for you. The Shed is 384 cu. ft. and packs a ton of storage capacity due to its 85 in. high wall on one side. Six functional aluminum windows with screens and locks offer great ventilation and security, while at the same time keeping the bugs out. Four flower boxes are also provided adding even more curbside appeal.

One side of the roof utilizes a 6mm thick twin wall Polygal panel that is translucent, allowing filtered light to pour in - great for growing all your vegetables and working in!

The Sunshed Garden Shed also includes a 16 in. deep L-shaped full-wall workbench, creating a convenient place to work or store your supplies.

The unit is made entirely with renewable resources and accepts a wide range of finishes to help you create a personalized look.

3. Lower Overall Food Costs:  While there are initial investments in seeds, soil, and tools, these costs are often offset by the savings on groceries over time.

4. Cuts on Specialty Ingredients: Growing herbs at home can save money, especially if you regularly buy fresh herbs from the store.

Why Western Red Cedar Wood?

Western Red Cedar is a naturally stunning building material with deep, tonal properties that accentuate the richly textured wood grains and exposed heartwood.

For centuries, the Western Red Cedar has been celebrated by the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations as the “Tree of Life” using it to build longhouses, canoes, and totem poles.

Red cedar’s reputation for being a naturally durable wood makes it perfect for all outdoor projects. The wood is lightweight and valued for its high natural resistance and decay properties.

It is less susceptible to moisture, insect damage, and fungi growth. Cedar is also water damage resistant and can successfully weather long periods of heavy rain and other weather extremes such as snow, hail, and strong winds.

With its unsurpassed natural beauty, centuries of proven performance, low environmental impact, and natural resistance to decay/insects it’s clear to see the advantage of quality Western Red Cedar.
