A shed and pergola built together can make a backyard feel complete. Here, the shed has a gambrel style roof and siding in a muted green, with a pair of doors on the front and a coach light above them.

Right beside it, a pergola stretches over a stone patio with wicker chairs and pots of red flowers. The natural wood of the pergola looks warm against the painted shed.

Young trees in mulched beds stand in front, and a set of stairs leads up to the house in the background. Everything is laid out so the patio, the pergola and the shed flow into each other.

The shed gives the family a place to keep garden tools and cushions close to the patio, while the pergola provides a shady place to relax.

The colours were kept soft so nothing competes with the gardens.
