Yoho Backyard Office

The Yoho Backyard Office is a great get it done garden office. An effective simple structure where you can work, rest or play. We have stripped out the unnecessary to be able to deliver exactly what you need quickly and effectively. If you are looking for a backyard office, a garden studio, she shed, man cave or an extra hobby space the Yoho Backyard Office will do the job for you.

Yoho Backyard Office Design Elements

The Yoho is designed with performance, value, and delivery in mind. The design is performance led. The design matches or exceeds building standards. The roof is metal clad with R30 insulation, the walls have R22 insulation as does the floor. We wrap the building using an adhesive membrane and all joints sealed with sealant to ensure we have a tight building envelope and no drafts. We can offer the Yoho as an excellent value proposition by using commercially available components. This means lower cost, lower inventory costs which we can pass on to you the customer. We can deliver the Yoho to almost any location. Because we do all the hard work in our Calgary factory our focus when we get to your backyard can be on getting things right.

So what does delivery and build look like?

• Day 1 we make sure the foundations are good and level, the skid goes in, next the walls and the roof.
• Day 2 is patio doors, windows, and the interior.
• Day 3 is touchups and flooring and trim and then you can move in.

Patio or French doors

Our standard option is patio doors, they are the quickest, easiest and most popular choice. French doors are available as an option.

Our standard size for doors is 5 foot, this gives us the best balance between light and insulation. We can do a wider 6 foot door as a special, we do have to let you know that the wider the door typically the less well they perform in cold temperatures with more chance for air to get around seals especially with French style doors.

Yoho Backyard Office Details:

• 5 foot wide double glazed patio door, this can be positioned to the right or left of the front wall.
• A 2 foot by 5 foot double glazed casement (hand crank to open) window with removable mesh window cover. This gives 45% of the front wall as either window or patio door to let in lots of good natural Light .
