12 Creative Backyard Shed DIY Ideas You Haven't Thought of Before

Creating the perfect space in your yard is difficult, especially when it comes to storing all the tools and entertainment supplies you need to make hosting possible. Did you know though that you can actually make your own backyard shed on the cheap, or even better, turn an old shed into an entertainment room or a sauna?

With a little creativity, you’ll have all of your guests in awe when they step outside and they first see that backyard shed. So what’re you waiting for?

While there are lots of clever ways to store your bike inside your garage, don’t you worry about accidentally scraping your car on the way out? I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty terrible when it comes to bikes and small spaces. By keeping your new bike shed outside, you can keep your bike safe and even more readily accessible than in your garage or house.

3. Pub Shed
