Home Reading Room - In Your Backyard

Chair and shelves: WorkPod
The WorkPod gives a backyard reading room 102 sq ft and a sloped ceiling to 9.3 feet, so a reading chair, a lamp and a full wall of shelves fit with room to spare. The glass front faces the yard for daylight reading, which makes this reading shed a quiet home library a few steps from the house.
Open library: StudioPod
The StudioPod carries the most glass in the lineup and four ceiling lights, the brightest backyard reading room for daytime reading and the best lit for evenings. It is the pick for an open, airy outdoor reading shed, and it gives a reading room shed the feel of a glass-walled garden library.
Quiet nook: MetroPod
The MetroPod is the compact 80 sq ft reading shed for a chair, a small shelf and a side table, a quiet corner for one reader in a smaller yard. It is the simplest, quickest-to-warm outdoor reading shed here, a private backyard reading room without taking over the garden.
