Sally lives in a popular beachside holiday destination in Northland, New Zealand. She needed a sanctuary and office away from her house where she could do some painting, work, reading or simply some relaxation while looking out to the luscious native bush. She knew she already had the perfect spot for her calm haven, so all she needed now was the right cabin!
Reaching out to the SheShed team and working with her sales consultant, she found the best cabin for her chosen space. Sally settled on the brand new 8.75sqm Tussock cabin, featuring modern French doors, tilt and turn European windows, double glazing and a corrugated steel roof. The shape and size was just perfect for her sheltered location and suited her nearby house well too.
As her SheShed is the second building on her land, Sally named her cabin "Rua"
Based in "Sunny Nelson," New Zealand, Diane set out to create something unique and multifunctional in her own back yard. She settled on getting a 19.4 square metre Brook River Cabin for her property where she could really spread out, work, play, entertain guests and relax in essentially the same space!
"I use it as a Zen Den, hobby craft room, studio, spare bedroom- I’ve designed it so it’s multifunctional. It’s great having this beautiful space In the garden. I have a desk, chair, sofa bed, breakfast bar, with two stools, computer, bar fridge, microwave, tea and coffee making facilities. Also a sofa chair which is a fab way to relax inside and and out of the cabin. I have two cape cod chairs on a deck I built to create a good indoor outdoor flow from the cabin. I love it !!"

Vivien (Design & Reno Management) has created a stunning space to work and relax during the day.
“We’re using the Cabana as an office, pool room & guest house. The space feels a lot bigger than what we thought it would!
We absolutely love the pitched roof and paneling!
Such a great space can be constructed in a short time with no council approval while adding value to your property.
We’re so happy with this shed, it’s changed the way we live!”

How many people get to literally have a Man Cave of their own, one that has all the essentials to relax and enjoy a spot outside of the house?
Zac set out to do something that most men dream of creating for themselves - an awesome and personalised Man Cave that he can call his own. He wasn't going to settle for just any shed - he needed a strong, sturdy, warm and good looking area. This is where the Star Cabin from SheShed was chosen as the perfect fit:
"Our favourite aspect is the feeling of being in a classic cabin in your own backyard. It feels like a world away inside, especially when it’s raining and all you can hear is the pitter patter gently on the roof. It’s so relaxing. People comment on the fact that it’s an instant build. You can literally have another bedroom or office at a fraction of the cost and time of any extension you intend to do on your home."
