The World's Most Unique Outhouse . . .

is actually a garden shed 
and a potting bench!

Do you suffer from "Outhouse Envy"?

You could, and not even know it.  Many people do.

This looks like an outhouse, but it's really much more than that.  This outhouse is a two seater, but it has four doors!

This outhouse is actually a gardeners dream!

It's got a flip out potting bench, with a built in hopper full of potting soil!  And much more . . .

We call it a "Shed House".

Kickback, relax, and take a tour of "The World's Most Unique Outhouse".


Let's take a peek inside the front door of the outhouse.

Looking inside the front door of the outhouse, Pam shows you where we store our most used gardening tools.  They are very easy to reach, right inside the front door of the outhouse.

 

Looking closer, right below the tool rack you can see the covers on the outhouse seat.  As you can see, this outhouse is a two holer!  

 

But our outhouse isn't really used as a potty, so we store fertilizer and "Mike's Secret Weed Control" in these two compartments.

Using her little tin cup, Pam dips out some fertilizer.

In this photo you are looking at the left side of our outhouse.  Notice the small door in the side of the outhouse, that's a little storage compartment.

We use the handy dandy little storage area to keep our  nursery pots handy.

Pam grabs a stack of nursery pots from the side compartment.  

She probably holds some kind of a potting record!  

She pots up thousands and thousands of our little plants each year!

This is the back door of our outhouse.  It too sports a half moon just for effect.  From this angle you can also see the right side of our outhouse, and that little door is the flip out potting bench.

 

As you can see from this photo the back door of the outhouse opens into a storage area that is perfect for gardening tools such as rakes, shovels, and spades.

It is so much easier to get them out of here than it is our large tool shed where they get all tangled up! 

Pam pots up a Japanese Red Maple seedling on the flip out potting bench.


Look closely at this photo.  You are now looking at the flip out potting bench.  Notice the little trap door just above the potting bench?  That's the potting soil storage area.  Just flip up the little door, and you have instant access to an ample supply of nice dry potting soil.

The storage area that holds the potting soil is designed so that as you use soil, more soil drops down, always keeping soil within easy reach for potting.  It's very convenient.

Now look closely below the bench.  See those two pieces of string sticking out the two holes?  

Our outhouse has a built in string dispenser that dispenses two flavors of string.

The nylon (white) string is very strong, and great for tying up bundles of branches etc.  The sisal twine (brown) is biodegradable, and great for tying up plants in and around the garden.  

Because it is biodegradable, it won't hurt anything should it end up in your compost bin, or tilled into the soil.  

The string dispenser holds thousands of feet of string, always right at your finger tips.  I'm always running around trying to find a piece of string.  

Not anymore!

And here we are back to the front of our outhouse.  

You can see the potting bench, and the string dispenser on the right side of the building.

In these photos the door to the soil storage area is open, and we demonstrate how easy it is to reach in and scoop out all the potting soil you need.

I know, I know.  Pam is a better looking potter than I am!

I am going to let you in on a little secret.

When you build an outhouse in this day and age, you really raise a lot of eyebrows!  

Building it really was fun, and we love our little "Shed House".
