Built for the people who build things.
Backyard Blueprints is a free shed designer for makers, weekend warriors, and anyone who's ever sketched a building idea on a napkin and wondered "could I actually pull that off?"
What we're building
Most design tools are built for professionals. They assume you know the software before you know what you want to build.
We flipped that. Backyard Blueprints starts with the shed — your dimensions, your roof pitch, your door placement — and builds the 3D model around your choices in real time. Drag a slider, the shed changes. Toggle the framing layer, see every stud and rafter sized to your span. No tutorials required.
We're starting with sheds because sheds are where a lot of people first realize they can build something real. A workshop. A she-shed. Extra storage. A place that's yours.
