When it came time to create a space for their adult children to practice and record music, Peter knew they needed something more than just a backyard shed. He wanted to get them a space that felt inspiring, private and sound friendly, a true music retreat. 

After comparing several options, the SheShed Coastal cabin stood out immediately! “We were looking for an outdoor facility to use as a music room as our adult children are musicians”, Peter explained. “We compared several other suppliers but found that the range, designs and pricing of SheSheds was the most attractive overall.”

Finding the Perfect Fit 

From the very first call, the family was impressed with the service they received. “Our representative, Lizzie, was a fountain of knowledge about her product. Absolutely nothing was too hard for her customer-driven attitude. She gently steered us through the process, patiently exploring many options until we arrived at the Coastal Cabin, which was perfect for our requirements.” 

The Coastal cabins generous windows, natural timber finish, and adaptable layout made it an ideal choice for a music studio. It provided the right amount of space for instruments, seating, and acoustic flexibility, all while complementing their backyard. 

Overcoming Challenges With Support Every Step of the Way  

As with many home projects, there were a few hiccups along the way. “We did have some challenges from our local council regarding placement,” Peter shared, “but again, Lizzie worked with us to supply all the information and certification they required.” That ongoing support made the process smooth and stress-free, even when unexpected obstacles came up. 

Built With Heart (And a Little Help From Friends) 

When the flatpack arrived, the family got to work! With a couple friends lending a hand, they built the entire cabin over a long weekend.

“The step-by-step building manual along with the videos made assembly a dream,” Peter said. “Everything arrived well packed and fitted perfectly together.” 

They even got creative with materials, reusing the cut–out window pieces to make the front step assembly “no wastage, and a beautiful finish.” 

A Space Everyone Loves 

Family, friends, and neighbours have all been amazed by the transformation and by the fact that it was built so quickly! “One friend has even begun the process of ordering their own SheShed.” 

The family couldn’t be happier with their experience. “More than happy to recommend the SheShed team to anyone interested in building such a project”, Peter said. “The sales team are not ‘hard sell’, they are genuinely focused on delivering the best possible result. They kept us informed throughout, delivered on time, and the product itself is exceptional. We could not be happier.” 

The Coastal cabin now stands as a creative hub for the family, a place of inspiration, connection, and music that fills the air (without filling the house.)
