Backyard English pub
Unsure what to put at the end of the pool we narrowed it down to two ideas, A pergola or a backyard English Pub. Surprisingly the pub won. We landscaped the area ready for a 'Stilla shed' to be installed (not done by us as we wanted it to be perfect). Once installed the fitout began and 'The Shoddy' was born. A place to create new memories while chatting about old ones in our own English pub. To watch the pub tour on You Tube search 'the shoddy pub tour'.

Re: Backyard English pub
Wow, what a fantastic addition to the backyard @Theshoddy. You must have great fun with mates in there. Thanks so much for sharing plenty of photos of the build. This is sure to inspire many Bunnings Workshop community members (or at least make them very jealous!)
Watch out for plenty of incoming questions from other members who want to build their own...
Welcome to the community. It's awesome to have you join us and we look forward to seeing more of your creativity in future posts. Please feel free to post whenever you need a hand with anything or have a project to share.

Re: Backyard English pub
Fantastic project. What size Stilla shed did you use ? Was there a installation cost ?
Thanks

Hello @AndrewS
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. Thank you for joining the discussion.
Let me tag @Theshoddy to make them aware of your kind words and questions. It appears to be the STILLA 3.64 x 2.53 x 2.55m Willow Cedar Shed and to answer your question, Bunnings does have an installation service. If you're planning on building your own pub, please make sure to post an update. I'm sure our members will be keen to see what it looks like.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Backyard English pub
Hello @AndrewS
Here is a link for the Stilla Displays, you simply choose your state and pick the store that's closest to you. It even tells you which unit is on display. However, just to be sure that they are still on display, I suggest giving the store a call before going.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Backyard English pub
Love the Shoddy! I am also thinking about getting a small Stilla cedar shed, as an outdoor room. I live in the tropics so we get a lot of heavy rain in the Wet. Can you tell me if the Shoddy definitely doesn't let the rain in? I've emailed Stilla ans asked them on social media, but they either don't reply or dodge the question.

Re: Backyard English pub
Hi @Spravotchka,
Hopefully, @Theshoddy can respond and let you know about their experience.
I've spoken to Stilla, and the sheds are rain-proof; no water will leak through the roof or walls in a wet weather event. If you get a lot of heavy rain with driving winds, you might like to seal any gaps in the roof up for an additional layer of protection.
As with any shed, the main point of water egress is under the walls. All sheds, when mounted on a concrete slab, should have a rebate included in it so water runs down the walls, hits the rebate and drains off the slab instead of being able to creep under the walls.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
