The Backyard Center is a modular yard organizer that can be built in a number of different combinations to adapt it to a variety of individual needs. As shown in the plans, the four separate modules were arranged around a crossed wall in a square. There is a potting center with a drain board, sink, shelves and tool storage underneath. A cold frame growing enclosure accompanies the potting shed to provide and easy-to-get-to mini greenhouse for raising seedlings. Underneath is more storage for tools, bags of potting mix, etc.

There is a built-in barbeque (Weber-style) with cover, serving table and storage underneath. The fourth unit is a large storage area with enough volume for housing a power mower (with the handle folded), weed eaters, etc. The bi-fold vertically lifting door provides easy access inside.
