In this guide, we review state and local laws that govern ADUs and tiny homes in California. - Published: 2023-10-03 - Modified: 2025-02-05 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/accessory-dwelling-units/resources/adu-vs-tiny-house/ Can an ADU Be Used As a Tiny House? Here’s What You Need to Know. A recent surge in tiny house popularity and interest in small living has led many customers to ask if an ADU can also be used as a tiny house. The short answer is yes, an ADU can meet the same requirements for living as a tiny house, but just as there are state and local laws that govern ADUs, there are also rules and regulations for tiny houses. Before you decide to purchase an ADU for use as a tiny house/primary residence, you need to check if your city, county, or municipality permits tiny houses in your location. Tiny houses are legal in the state of California but only in certain areas, including Sacramento and San Francisco.

Today we’re taking a closer look at various livable shed options to inspire you to build your own and claim a little fun and personal space in your own life! She Shed Ideas If you frequent Pinterest or other social media hubs for creative home improvement ideas, you’re undoubtedly familiar with She Sheds (aka Lady Lairs, Lady Lounges, or Femme Dens). The She Shed is the feminine equivalent of the Man Cave (more on those in a moment) and gives busy women their own private space on their property that’s separate from the shared family living areas inside the house. This physical separation of spaces... --- ### 7 Ways to Make Your Backyard Greenhouse More Efficient > It is important to improve Greenhouse efficiency. Make your greenhouse more efficient with these 7 expert tips. Maximize growth and energy savings! - Published: 2019-09-04 - Modified: 2025-02-28 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/7-ways-to-make-your-backyard-greenhouse-more-efficient/ - Categories: Landscape Structures It’s not an exaggeration to say that almost all serious gardeners dream of adding the ultimate garden tool to their collection – the backyard greenhouse. These home horticulturalists know that there are many great reasons to have your own greenhouse, but there is also a learning curve when it comes to using the greenhouse most effectively and maximizing its efficiency. If you’ve recently invested in one of these greenhouses or you’re still just in the building planning phases, it’s important to learn ways to make your greenhouse as efficient as possible and avoid common mistakes new greenhouse gardeners make. Today’s post covers seven big things you need to consider for making your greenhouse more efficient. Optimize Greenhouse Ventilation The ability to vent excess heat should be integrated into your greenhouse’s structure. If too much heat is allowed to remain inside your greenhouse during hot, sunny weather, even warmth-loving tropical plants can be damaged. Because hot air rises, the ability to ventilate is generally achieved by building easy-to-open panels in the greenhouse roof. Traditionally, these have been manually controlled but remembering to open and close the vents in your Greenhouse as the weather changes can be a daily chore that is easily forgotten. Optimized ventilation relies on automated systems triggered by temperature changes inside your greenhouse to open and close vents mechanically, so you don’t have to worry about it. Eliminate Air Leaks in your Greenhouse While adequate ventilation in your greenhouse is critical to the health of your plants, you need to be... --- ### Holiday Decorating for Your Landscape Structures > Read about Holiday Decorating for Your Landscape Structures on our blog!

Gazebos, pergolas, pavilions, and even sheds benefit from festive makeovers and add an extra dimension of holiday “wow” to the exterior of your home. So grab another strand of lights and a wreath or two, and get to work! Not sure where to start? That’s fine, too! Whether your decorating scheme tends toward the elegant and minimalist or the crazy and over-the-top, we’re sharing some of our favorite tips to inspire you to create a true winter wonderland in your backyard this season by incorporating your outdoor structures! Garlands, Swags, and Wreaths Whether fresh or artificial, evergreen boughs are endlessly festive as garlands strung along gazebo railings and wrapped around posts. Pine and cedar branches work best if you’re going for the natural look, and you can either purchase these at places like Christmas tree farms or just prune from trees on your own property. Add wreaths and swags on shed windows and doors, or at the corners where the individual sides of pavilions, pergolas, and open gazebos meet to liven up typically utilitarian architectural features. This effect is particularly eye-catching on octagon and oval gazebos! And be sure you don’t forget the bows! Store-bought, pre-made bows in red shades or holiday plaids look great, but crafting your own bows is often more... --- ### 5 Reasons You Should Own a Gazebo > Gazebos have lots of benefits for your property and your lifestyle. Consider these five reasons you should have a gazebo on your property. - Published: 2018-09-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/5-reasons-you-should-own-a-gazebo/ - Categories: Landscape Structures Have you been dreaming of making your backyard a more inviting place to spend time with family and friends? If so, you’ve probably considered adding a gazebo or other landscape structure. However, maybe you are not enthusiastic about the styling or build quality of models you’ve seen for sale at the big box home improvement stores. We want to let you know that you don’t have to settle for a gazebo you don’t love! Here at Backyard Unlimited, we give you extensive options for building a high-quality gazebo that can be customized to fit your needs and personal style. Gazebos have lots of benefits for your property and your lifestyle. Consider the possibilities. Gazebos Fit Just About Anywhere Whether octagon, oval, rectangle, or dodecagon (that’s a 12-sided gazebo, if you can believe it! ), our custom, Amish-constructed gazebos come in an impressive range of sizes to fit almost anywhere you want to situate them. Some shape configurations, specifically octagon, oval, and rectangle designs, start at widths of just eight feet. That means, if you only have a small corner available to place your gazebo, or are incorporating the structure into a deck design or other unique setting, there is definitely a gazebo that will fit! Gazebos are also great as poolside retreats, and smaller versions are often preferred to create an appealing sense of scale within backyard pool areas. Of course, you might be looking for something on the total opposite end of the size spectrum. Our largest gazebos, with widths of up to... --- ### How a Single-Story Garage Can Save Your Driveway > We’re here to tell you that a detached, single-story garage can save your driveway and your money over the long term. Find out how! - Published: 2018-08-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/how-a-single-story-garage-can-save-your-driveway/ - Categories: Garages Do you use your home’s driveway for parking an extra vehicle? It’s true that the average American family owns about two light-duty vehicles (cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans) according to recent statistical data, which means that your home’s attached garage should be able to accommodate your parking needs. But, it’s also true that many families use their home’s integrated garage space to store other items, or even as a living area, displacing the cars that were supposed to “live” there. The point is, if you’re parking your car, truck, or even your boat or camper outside on your driveway, you’re doing a disservice to both your vehicle and the pavement (and your wallet, too)! It’s time to consider how you can save your driveway and your money over the long term. We’re here to tell you that a detached, single-story garage is a great solution. Let’s take a closer look. A Garage Protects Your Driveway Surface It may not seem like it, but your paved driveway does a lot of hard work on your property every day. It allows you to drive your vehicles right up to your home from your road or street with ease. It provides a place for your kids and grandkids to practice sports and play. And, if engineered properly, it channels rainwater away from your home and other buildings to protect your structures from damage. You probably spend money to maintain your driveway, repairing cracks that form and/or investing in professional seal-coating treatments. You may have... --- ### How to Choose the Right Shed Style for Your Backyard > Today we’re taking a look at how to choose between among the variety of shed models, each nearly infinitely customizable, available at Backyard Unlimited. - Published: 2018-07-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-shed-style-for-your-backyard/ - Categories: Sheds The right shed style for you and your property has plenty to do with personal taste and aesthetic preferences, but there are distinct advantages to each style in terms of functionality, too. Some excel at storage while others are suitable for spending quality time inside relaxing or working on projects. Today we’re taking a closer look at how to choose between the wide variety of shed models, each nearly infinitely customizable, that we proudly build here at Backyard Unlimited. With the amazing number of possibilities, your perfect shed can become a reality with just a few thoughtful decisions. Know Your Style Options When many people think of backyard sheds, they imagine storage buildings similar in design to our High Barn models. With a gambrel roof that accommodates overhead storage space in addition to a spacious main area, the High Barn often features double doors on the front and/or side of the building that make it a fantastic option for storing lawn care equipment and other property maintenance essentials. The styling is reminiscent of a traditional American barn with its gambrel roof. At one time, this shed style was one of the only available, but today, there are quite a few other style options. If you appreciate a more contemporary look, for example, the Studio models will undoubtedly entice you. With a tall front wall that’s perfect for an array of windows to flood the interior with natural light, the roofline sweeps down toward the back in the manner of a lean-to that gives the... --- ### All About Gazebos, Pavilions, and Pergolas > Transform your outdoor space! Learn the distinctions between gazebos, pavilions, and pergolas to find the ideal structure for your needs. - Published: 2018-05-04 - Modified: 2025-02-28 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/all-about-gazebos-pavilions-and-pergolas/ - Categories: Landscape Structures Have you been dreaming of ways to make your backyard more inviting and livable? Perhaps you have a deck where you enjoy spending time, but it gets hot in the afternoon sun with little or no shade. Or maybe your backyard doesn’t currently have many comfortable features beyond a few chairs or a basic patio.  Landscape structures can offer new options for relaxing on your own property. In fact, you may find that creating a calm oasis in your backyard with a gazebo, pavilion, or pergola makes it difficult to spend time anywhere else! The question is, which structure is the best choice for your unique property? And what are the differences between these three main types anyway? Here at Backyard Unlimited we often hear from customers just beginning a backyard improvement project who don’t know what best suits their personal style while solving all challenges presented by their particular outdoor living space. Understanding the key differences between gazebos, pavilions, and pergolas will help you choose the best structure for your individual yard and lifestyle. Let’s take a closer look at each. Gazebos Gazebos are typically compact (though they don’t necessarily have to be) and perfect for out-of-the-way corners in your yard, gazebos are arguably the most familiar and popular backyard landscape structures for relaxation. Gazebos have been around for a long time and may date back thousands of years to ancient Egyptian culture according to some sources. They have at least been fixtures in American gardens since the colonial era, and... --- ### 4 Reasons You Should Own a Greenhouse > Did you know there are several greenhouse benefits and that building a high-quality greenhouse is easier and more affordable than you may think? - Published: 2018-04-04 - Modified: 2025-02-28 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/4-reasons-you-should-own-a-greenhouse/ - Categories: Landscape Structures As an avid backyard gardener, you have probably been considering adding a greenhouse to your property for some time to enhance your gardening capabilities. The colder seasons have always meant hanging up your gloves and trowel for months at a time. And, when you can get your hands into the soil, you are continually battling pesky wildlife to protect delicate seedlings and plants. You know that a greenhouse would be a huge help in making year-round growing a reality and offering substantial protection against those deer and gophers who view your garden as a free buffet. But, did you know that building a high-quality greenhouse is much easier and affordable than you may have imagined? Let’s consider some important greenhouse benefits that you need to take the plunge and add a greenhouse to your property now. Greenhouses Protect Your Plants from Cold and Snow, or Too Much Sun Here in the Greater Sacramento area, we have the benefit of rarely dealing with snow, but a greenhouse will assure that your plants will never be subjected to snow, regardless of your property’s elevation. Since our greenhouses here at Backyard Unlimited are designed for our specific climate of the Sacramento area, you can grow and ripen tomatoes, start seedlings, and even protect many tender tropical plants right through the winter with no supplemental heating required. A greenhouse is also perfect for growing fresh salad greens through the winter! However, what about the abundance of sunshine in the warmer months? Won’t a greenhouse become unbearably... --- ### The Advantages of a Detached Multi-Story Garage > There are some distinct advantages to constructing a new, detached multi-story garage on your property. Have you considered them? - Published: 2018-03-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/the-advantages-of-a-detached-multi-story-garage/ - Categories: Garages If you’re reading this, it is likely that you’ve already been dreaming about constructing a new multi-story garage on your property. Maybe you’re thinking about finally using your garage for its intended purpose – providing a secure, sheltered place to protect your most valuable mobile possessions. Or perhaps you just like the flexibility of a detached garage space to use as a large workshop, studio, or for overflow storage (those large overhead doors really can’t be beaten for access. ) Whatever your reasons, there are some distinct advantages to constructing a new, detached multi-story garage on your property. Have you considered them all? Storage for Multiple Vehicles This may sound obvious, but the main advantage of a new multi-story garage is the ability to store multiple vehicles. While it’s very likely that your home has an attached garage if it was built in the last 70+ years, it’s also likely that, as many Americans, you’re not using that garage for parking your cars. Many people find their attached garage space taken up by storage for large household items like extra furniture and appliances, or even converted to temporary or permanent living space to accommodate their family’s changing needs. Sometimes that attached garage is just too small for the larger vehicles we tend to drive these days. In any case, we find ourselves with the need for a separate structure to house our vehicles if we don’t want to park them outside. Here at Backyard Unlimited, we also have a variety of single-story... --- ### 7 Ways to Make the Most Out of Your Outdoor Living Space > If you find yourself looking at your backyard and wondering what to do with it, we’re here to help. Here are 7 ways to make the most of youroutdoor space! - Published: 2018-02-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/7-ways-to-make-the-most-out-of-your-outdoor-living-space/ - Categories: Landscape Structures If you find yourself looking out into your backyard and wondering what to do with it, we’re here to help. Backyards can be one of the most underutilized parts of a home but their potential is limitless. The best part is that any size yard can get a makeover that will increase the use you get out of it. With spring already here and summer looming, now’s the time to consider how you might like to enjoy your warm and sunny days outside—and how your yard can help get you there. 1. Move Your Kitchen Outdoors Outdoor kitchens are all the rage these days, and for good reason, too. They bring the comfort and convenience of a fully stocked kitchen outdoors, which makes feeding a large group so much easier and fun. When the good weather arrives, you can start inviting friends and families over for intimate backyard dinners or fun-filled fiestas. What’s really great about outdoor kitchens is that the space can easily serve as a lounge and dining area, with the right furniture. This provides homeowners with the chance to enjoy their meals outside more often, and more comfortably. 2. Become a Rock-Star at Entertaining Friends and Family Patio and deck parties are definitely a big thing. Haven’t you heard? Throw up some umbrellas for shade or add an overhang and you’ve got the perfect spot to spend your summer afternoons. When you outfit your backyard with the right furniture and amenities, you end up creating the perfect... --- ### 10 Reasons Your Home Needs a Backyard Storage Shed > Nowadays, homeowners are utilizing sheds like never before, turning them into a one-size-fits-all solution. Heer are 10 reasons you should have a shed! - Published: 2018-01-04 - Modified: 2023-10-04 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/10-reasons-your-home-needs-a-backyard-storage-shed/ - Categories: Sheds Keeping your home and garage clean and organized can feel like a struggle sometimes as more and more people succumb to busy work schedules and hectic family life. While you probably rise to the occasion and keep your house in working order, maybe you can’t say the same for your yard or garage. We’ve all seen that one yard, covered in overgrown grass or littered with bicycles, toys, and random lawn care equipment. Don’t forget about the driveway cluttered with a basketball net, months’ old fertilizer, and sports equipment. Maybe it’s a neighbor’s yard, or even your own; but the disorganization can get out of hand if left alone for too long. Improving your curb appeal doesn’t require a huge, expensive makeover. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of extra storage to get your yard in presentable shape. Not to mention, if you’ve been using your garage as “storage overflow” then you definitely want to look into a shed. That’s where storage sheds come in. These simple structures are anything but; however, they can offer so much more than a storage solution for your backyard woes. Nowadays, homeowners are utilizing sheds like never before, turning them into a one-size-fits-all solution. 1.       You Enjoy Working Outside If you like working on your landscape or have a green thumb, a shed can be the perfect place to store all your landscaping and gardening supplies. Any equipment or materials you’d need for the outdoors are probably best kept outside, too, instead of... --- ### The Advantages to Having Your Home Office or Studio in the Backyard > Many people can benefit from having their own backyard outdoor studios, from writers and artists to entrepreneurs and the hardcore telecommuter. - Published: 2018-01-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/the-advantages-to-having-your-home-office-or-studio-in-the-backyard/ - Categories: Sheds As more people work from home or venture into the world of creating their own business, having a home office or studio is becoming increasingly more important. A recent trend has seen many of those additions being created right in one’s very own backyard. That’s right: a backyard office or studio. The benefits are many, and we’ve highlighted the core advantages to going the backyard studio/office route. More Than Just a Shed The amazing thing about these home offices is that many people are simply installing run-of-the-mill prefabricated sheds and converting them into literal works of art by installing insulation, electrical, and other modifications to make the place homier. In fact, there is a growing number of companies who offer prefabricated structures of various sizes for this very purpose. These buildings are typically more affordable than home renovations. Because many of these office pods or outdoor offices start out the size of sheds, they’re relatively space-efficient. If you’re worried about installing something that will clash with your home, there are enough companies and customizable options to create a workspace structure that actually complements your house. It Keeps Work and Your Home Life Separate The great thing about working from home is that you can be productive in the comfort of your own home. The bad part about working from home is that sometimes you feel like you never really stop working because you work and live in the same location. Well, building your own home office can fix that! You... --- ### How to Update Your Yard with a Stylish Outdoor Gazebo > An outdoor gazebo can easily turn a drab lawn into a happening nighttime party space or add a bit of romance to an otherwise featureless landscape. - Published: 2017-11-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/how-to-update-your-yard-with-a-stylish-outdoor-gazebo/ - Categories: Landscape Structures Yards can get boring fast when all you do is focus on the lawn and garden. Sometimes you need a little something else to draw the eye to the various locations around a big yard, or you have to introduce a new element to make the space more engaging. Well, one basic structure can do that for a yard no matter how big or small it is. An outdoor gazebo can easily turn a drab lawn into a happening nighttime party space or add a bit of romance to an otherwise featureless landscape. With a gazebo, you can enjoy your yard rain or shine, or create an impromptu spot for friends and family to gather. The great thing about any outdoor structure like this is the level of customization you can achieve. Most manufacturers offer a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can provide multiple options for material, accent work, and added features, such as screening and doors. It comes down to purpose and intention, so with that in mind, let’s talk about how you can shave a few years off your aging lawn with a gazebo. How to Choose the Gazebo Right for You There are plenty of reasons to get a gazebo, but not all of them will be right for everyone. Some may be interested in one as a conversation piece, whereas others could want to design a new go-to spot for cookouts and late night conversations. It’s important to decide why you’re shopping for a gazebo as... --- ### 5 Reasons Storage Sheds Improve Home Organization > Your entire property can benefit from being organized. Here are 5 reasons storage sheds will benefit your organizational efforts at home. - Published: 2017-10-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/5-reasons-storage-sheds-improve-home-organization/ - Categories: Sheds A storage shed keeps everything you want kept outside organized. Dirty equipment, gardening tools, lawn maintenance essentials—lawn mower, hoses, weed killer, etc. Basically everything you wouldn’t want to store inside your home for lack of space, or just a fondness for clean floors. Practicing good home organizational skills doesn’t just mean keeping your desk or bedroom tidy. Your entire property can benefit from being organized, and storage sheds can be your best friend when it comes to outdoor storage. Combine that with the customizable nature of sheds and you’ve got the unsung hero of home organization. But, don’t take our word for it. Here are 5 reasons storage sheds will benefit your organizational efforts at home. 1. They’re More than Just Storage Sheds are more than just empty spaces to chuck your random junk. They provide untapped organizational potential. Introducing hooks, boards, or shelves can make use of all the extra space a storage shed provides. The floors, walls, and ceiling offer additional room to improve the functionality of your shed, and its potential to make organizing your life a little easier. 2. Sheds Pick up The Slack Give your garage a break from all the boxes, unused tools, and other stored unmentionables. The storage shed can take some of the load and free up space inside your house for the essentials, improving your interior storage and organization too. Just because the shed sits outside doesn’t mean it’s only for outdoor things. A larger storage shed could be outfitted as an office to... --- ### 6 Outdoor Organization Tips > Use the longer days and warmer weather of springtime to breathe some new life into your backyard organization with these six tips! - Published: 2017-08-04 - Modified: 2023-06-21 - URL: https://www.backyardunlimited.com/blog/6-outdoor-organization-tips/ - Categories: Sheds With spring on the horizon, almost everyone is anxious to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather! As the days get longer and the breeze loses it chill, it’s time to start dusting off those winter blues. Dark days holed up inside the house will soon be behind you, giving way to evening cookouts and outdoor playdates. After 89 long days of cold and dreary winter, you’re more than ready to welcome spring. Is your backyard living space as ready for spring as you are? In an effort to winterize your backyard, you may have haphazardly thrown outdoor toys, furniture, garden tools and more into storage. Now that these things are back it season, it’s the perfect opportunity to spend some time getting everything in order. Outdoor organization keeps your kids happy, and helps keep you sane. Rouge basketballs and toy trucks will no longer lay claim to your lawn. Imagine clearly defined places for playing, eating, and lounging! You can even create your own storage solutions to make gardening and cooking that much more enjoyable. Use the longer days and warmer weather of springtime to breathe some new life into your backyard organization with these tips: 1. Split the Space Toys, lawn furniture, and gardening tools strewn about can make even the most up-scale backyard look messy. When things don’t have a defined place, chaos tends to take over. Regardless of the size of your backyard, you can create defined area to give your backyard even the illusion of... --- ## Products ### Vista Pergolas > Add a Vista Pergola to your backyard.
