Overview

From greenhouses and garden sheds to dog houses and pergolas, outdoor structures can be both fun and functional. For the Outdoor Structures Contest, show off your best builds for outside. All permanent or portable structures will fit the bill as long as they reside out-of-doors.

Shape and create the finest structures to win a Porter-Cable 8-Tool Combo Kit, Therm-a-Rest Canopy, or Bosch 2-Tool Combo Kit! Go complex or keep it simple, whatever suits your taste can suit this contest.
