The customer needed extra storage that would work with the existing deck. Open yard space was limited, so the area under the deck offered the best solution. The shed had to connect cleanly to the house and deck structure. We built an 8x12 custom shed on site in one day. It uses the customer’s existing deck posts and gutter system. The structure sits under the deck and becomes part of the overall outdoor layout. Diamond Kote colored lap siding forms the exterior. This material holds its color and resists moisture through North Idaho seasons. The 6-foot glass French doors bring in light and make daily access simple. Because the shed ties into the deck posts and gutters, it looks intentional rather than added on. The finished build blends with the house and gives the customer convenient storage right where it is needed. The completed shed sits clean and functional under the deck. It provides practical covered space without changing the look of the property.
We used the existing deck posts and gutter system to make it fit.

Yes. When the deck posts and structure allow it, a custom shed can be framed directly into the space. Careful measuring keeps the new walls square and weather-tight. The result is covered storage that uses the deck as its roof.
The posts become part of the shed framing so no new foundation posts are needed in those locations. The gutter system is left in place and continues to manage water from the deck. This approach saves time and keeps the overall look consistent.
Diamond Kote siding is designed for exterior use in varying climates. It resists fading and moisture better than standard painted wood. In Kootenai County conditions it maintains its appearance with only routine cleaning.
The 6-foot glass French doors let natural light into the space and make it easy to see what is stored inside. They also create a wider opening for moving larger items. The doors give the shed a finished look that matches the house.
Yes. When the design uses existing posts and the footprint is compact, the framing, siding, and doors can be completed in a single day. Planning the material and sequence ahead of time keeps the work efficient.
