![]() If you live within a close enough distance to us we can erect an observatory for you on your site. The installation will take two trips to
your location, one visit to install the pier footing and a second visit
to erect the observatory. |
|
|
You
can choose from a variety observatory sizes and colour combinations for
the building and the roof. We recommend a light coloured roof for heat
reduction. In order to work well on your site we can install the roof to roll off - left or right. Our observatories are constructed from high quality, long lasting pine wood with a light weight galvanized steel roof. |
Testimonial |

From the first call to the completed installation, the entire experience has been enjoyable. Whether in an urban or rural location, without hesitation I would recommend a SkyShed to anyone who is considering an observatory. Todd Carlson SkyNews Magazine |

Custom Size | We
can work with you to determine a custom size to match your needs and
budget. |
Due to Ontario "snow load" building codes most municipalities limit non-permit structures to 120 square feet (i.e. 10' X 12'). |
Check with your municipality or
community association to make sure the observatory will fit within local
restrictions. If you desire a larger observatory we will work with you
to erect a custom sized structure. |
