Sadly, summer is coming to a close — but don't fret! We all have a little more time to get in those early fall DIY projects before it gets too cold outside.
The change in seasons always gets me in the mood to search for fresh new DIY ideas to brighten up my outdoor space — like this stunning DIY brick BBQ! Just imagine all the awesome fires you could have on a chilly fall night!
So when I saw this crafty Imgur user's end-of-summer outdoor DIY project, I fell in love! What started out as totally overlooked backyard (overgrown and on a steep hill) soon became the site of an all-purpose modern shed — perfect for anything!
Whether you want to create a new play space for the kids, a sleeping nook for you and your pets, or an area to kick back with a warm mug of tea to enjoy the change of seasons, this beautiful DIY modern shed is for you!

To begin his backyard transformation, this Imgur user started with four main supports that he pressure treated.
He then added the framing and joists. The shed itself ended up measuring 8'x10', as it had to account for the incline.
He then completed the floor and pressure treated the entire thing.
Afterwards, he started putting up the walls. He installed headers for the sliding door and three windows.
Next, it was time to get started on the roof!
Once that was done, he added sheathing to the inside and outside of the shed.
Next, he used Tyvek wrap and Henry-Lo slope to protect the shed (especially the roof) from the elements.
Once that was done, he installed his windows.
Then it was time for the light-weight sliding door.
After paining the trim, he added the shingles. He used a pneumatic stapler to attach these beautiful cedar shingles to the shed.
Then he used his leftover lumber to build these cute little steps!
He started adding insulation and paneling to the inside.
Aftwards, he used these LED lighting strips to make an uplighting fixture. Pretty neat!
Almost there! Our Imgur user finished up by trimming the windows and adding some beautiful bamboo to the floor.
He shared this shot of his final product! What an adorable little shed.
