Outbuildings.ca is a guide to backyard buildings in Canada: sheds, cabins, backyard offices, garages, laneway houses and modular builds. It covers what they cost, what the local rules allow and what finished projects look like, so a project can start with real numbers instead of guesses.
What can go in a backyard?
A backyard office, art studio, guest house, remote cabin, nanny suite, laneway house, coach house, yoga studio, reading room, garden shed, storage shed, tool shed, prefab shed or a simple private retreat all count as outbuildings. Each one has different costs, size limits and permit rules, and those change from city to city.
