My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc.
In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.
NEW GARDEN SHED WITH ROOF DIAMOND (菱形の屋根飾りをつけた新しい物置)
The steel shed in the main garden has been in use for just over 20 years, with fake windows (covered with plastic mirrors), but years of moisture had caused corrosion, mainly on the floor, and recently the sliding doors had stopped working properly. So we decided to buy a new shed and after a lot of research we decided on a gable roof design. With the help of my son, the demolition of the old shed was easily completed and a concrete foundation was built for the next shed. The concrete foundation was made by placing instant concrete flat inside the formwork and pouring water over the top. Welded wire mesh was placed inside to strengthen it.
A large cardboard box containing an assembled shed ordered online was delivered, but it weighed 60 kg and didn't budge. We carried the necessary parts little by little into the garden and assembled them, following the assembly instructions. Again, my son helped me. It took two of us half a day to complete it.
I felt that the design was not good enough as it was, so I looked at photos of sheds in the UK and found that they had diamond-shaped roof ornaments, so I decided to make my own and install them. I attached a board of the same colour to the gable, and at the top of the centre I added a slightly deformed diamond-shaped roof ornament.
