When Phillip and his young family began thinking about adding a shed to their backyard, it wasn’t just about creating extra storage. For them, the choice had been building slowly over time - ever since their son had become fascinated with a Stilla brochure. He would flip through it in the car on every trip, “reading” the pictures with wonder. That memory became the seed of a decision they knew they’d one day make.
When the time came, they chose the Stilla Willow Shed.
After comparing the Maple and the Willow, the Willow won for one simple reason - it offered more space. The family wanted a shed that would work hard for them, housing everything from garden tools and camping gear to barbecue sets and outdoor furniture, all while sitting beautifully in their backyard.
Although quotes were requested for tin sheds, Western Red Cedar was always going to be the preferred choice. Unlike steel or tin, timber brings character and warmth to a garden. It breathes, it’s easier to repair in sections if needed, and with windows, it doesn’t turn into an oven on hot summer days. In Phillip’s words, “timber wood adds more character to the overall backyard.”
What they love most about their shed is the quality of the build.
Having assembled it himself, Phillip knows how solid it is - the engineering is sound, and the fittings are generous and well designed. It’s a shed that not only looks good but feels good to use, day in and day out.
For Phillip and his family, their Willow Shed is more than a practical addition. It’s a piece of their story - a decision rooted in memories, research, and a desire for something timeless. A Stilla shed, for them, isn’t just storage. It’s an investment in their home, their lifestyle, and the character of their backyard.
