Since my back yard is 90% pool, the equipment pad had to be built right next to the patio dining area. Finally (after 4 years) I've had a shed built over it all. Not that the equipment is ugly or anything, but now I don't have to look at it, it's much more quiet with the pump inside the shed and the equipment is now protected from rain/snow/wind etc.

I just hope it's got a lot of ventilation! It looks nice. I'd padlock it, it looks like some place the kids would want to build a fort in.

There is one gable vent up high to the right of the interior picture. I still have to get the gas fitter out to run the exhaust for the gas heater up through the roof (by law here in Ontario, only a certified gas fitter can do this). He will have to add ventilation for the heater, which will be cut through the walls (one high, one low is what it shows in the heater installation manual).

The kids want me to build bunk beds in there...lol

Great job! I agree w/Richard that you should padlock it... too tempting for the kids.

Thanks. It will be nice this winter to not see 3 feet of snow on top of all the equipment. Last winter, the smoked plastic cover on top of the heater controls blew away, never to be found. A new cover was surprisingly expensive. Plus, I have a place to sleep instead of the doghouse when the wife is mad at me...lol

I want to put some type of shed over our pump station too. The only thing is, where my pump station is located a shed too high would block one of my bay windows. It would have to be no more than 5 feet.
Good job though!

How wide is that door? Enough to get the filter out? a new one in?

Never thought of that before before the shed was built, but I measured and all is well. Filter, heater, no problem.
