What Our Customers Say about GardenBox 3D

Michael Ferguson
USA
We hardly ever used our garden shed and decided to transform it into a small gym. The software made it easy to create a plan with maximum workout space. We also added large windows for extra natural light. Now we’re excited to redesign other parts of our outdoor area!
Ann O’Callaghan
Canada
I wanted to make a custom shed design that could handle heavy Canadian snow loads, and this program did the job perfectly. GardenBox 3D allowed me to try out various materials and colors to match our main house. Definitely recommend it to everyone!
Jennifer Dawkins
Australia
I’ve used GardenBox 3D for designing my new garden workshop. It takes minutes to map out the exact footprint on your lawn and customize everything until the design looks just right. The layout looks great and fits my yard perfectly.

FAQs

Is it possible to get a professional rendering if I provide a hand-drawn sketch of my idea?

GardenBox 3D lets you import your sketch and plan your space in detail on top of it. Draw the foundation, add buildings, and enhance the flow of movement by drawing pathways. View your comprehensive plan – the design rendering includes correct calculations, shadows, and reflections.

What should I double-check regarding my property boundaries before building my shed?

You need to check with your city hall and HOA to see how many feet of space you must leave between the shed and your neighbor's yard. There might be strict rules regarding the structure's height, building supplies, and color palette.

Are there built-in templates for common shed sizes (e.g., 8x10, 10x12) that I can modify?

There are such shed models as 12x9 and 10x14, but their sizes are fully customizable. You can also design a shed building from scratch.
