Funicular Shed – Can you build a shed up a slope? (0910)

A new build house – 2 storey at the front and 3 storey at the back.

A steep slope to the side was turned into “The Funicular Shed”.

It is built on timber railway sleepers that step up a steep hill. The roof is at 30 degrees pitch; It is not any taller than the front boundary fence at the side of the house. It was constructed from a normal shed that was recycled into a new shape. The floor of the old (near square) shed was cut in half to make the roof of the new shed long and narrow. The close-boarded boundary fence was used as one side of the new shed and the old shed panels re-cut to form the other 3 sides. The old door is hinged off a recycled fence post.

The shed was built to house all the garden tools, an extending ladder, deck chairs & paint cans etc… The path to the shed is a boules court.
