Cabanas and Sheds

Custom Shed and Cabana Designers in Calgary – Your Backyard Experts

Looking to maximize the functionality of your backyard? Building a shed in Calgary is a great solution. A shed isn’t just a storage space for a few boxes; it’s the perfect place for larger items like tools, gardening equipment, seasonal furniture, and even bulky machinery.

Sheds also protect your belongings from the elements. Leaving a bike or lawnmower exposed in the backyard, for example, can lead to damage during harsh winters – no tarp can fully shield them.

Beyond storage, a shed can serve as a workshop, studio, or even a greenhouse. Plus, adding a shed or cabana can significantly boost your property’s value.

At Zeal Design, we are Calgary’s shed-design company. From securing the necessary permits to executing custom designs, we’ve got you covered.

What Goes Into Building a Garden Shed or Cabana?

The process involves four key stages:

1. Planning and Permits:
We begin by discussing your project using detailed visualization tools. This stage starts with understanding building codes and zoning regulations. For instance, any backyard structure over 10 square meters requires a permit. If plumbing or electrical work is involved, additional permits will be needed. Once hired, we’ll create blueprints and schematics for your project.

2. Design:
Before construction begins, your project will be fully developed in digital form. Every detail, from aesthetics to functionality, is tailored to your preferences. Whether it’s a rustic shed or a modern cabana, we combine your vision with our expertise to create a design that exceeds your expectations.

3. Construction Drawings and Details:
Once the design is finalized, we prepare detailed construction drawings and specifications. These documents provide precise instructions and measurements to ensure that the project is executed to code and matches the approved design.

4. City Submission and Approval:
After the construction drawings are complete, we handle the submission process to the city for permit approval. This includes addressing any questions or adjustments required by the city to ensure compliance with all building codes and zoning regulations.
