Are you looking to add a little pizzazz to your backyard this summer? Maybe you are looking at custom gazebos to add a sitting area or board and batten sheds to increase your storage or work space. Whatever your idea may be, you won’t want to overlook Amish furniture. Not only is it 100% hand crafted, but it is long lasting, beautiful, and unique. Here are three of the most popular types of Amish furniture that can really add life to your backyard:
1. Board and Batten Sheds – Amish sheds are beneficial for many reasons. First, they are long lasting investments. In fact, studies show that wooden sheds can last up to 15-20 years! Sheds can also be used for a variety of tasks from an outdoor game room to an art studio or just some extra storage for tools and/or yard equipment. Board and batten sheds are unique in their design and almost have a sort of barn look to them because of how they are built.
2. Gazebos – Gazebos are a great way to add covered seating to your backyard area. Often times gazebos are built with screens on all sides so whoever is sitting inside relaxing will be able to feel a nice breeze. Just like most Amish furniture, the gazebos are typically made from oak, cherry, hickory, walnut, or maple wood. As the customer you will be able to choose the finish that you want.
3. Garages – Custom Amish built garages are another item that looks great in any backyard. Similar to the board and batten sheds, custom built garages can also be used in a variety of ways. Sure, you can park a car in the garage, but if you are putting it in your backyard then that might not be the easiest thing to do. Most people use their outdoor garage for things like a game room with a pool or ping pong table and a refrigerator or just for extra storage. If you plan on using your shed or garage for storage, make sure to consider your current space needs and add 25% for future storage needs before ordering it to be built.
With summer quickly approaching, many Americans are looking to plan their first bbq cookout or pool party, but want to find a way to make their backyard look a bit better before they schedule anything. Adding a beautifully handcrafted shed, gazebo, or garage is a great way to make that happen. Give yourself plenty of time to wait for your furniture to both be built and be shipped to your home. By the end of the summer you could be sitting in a new gazebo sipping lemonade in your own beautiful backyard!
