Outdoors > Garden > How to Build a Solar Garden Shed

Learn how to assemble a purchased kit for a garden shed with sloping roof windows.

Decide on the orientation of the glass panels. For efficiency, they are generally oriented toward the south to capture maximum sunlight. However there are sometimes esthetic reasons to vary, such as wanting the optimum view from your home or a particular aspect of your yard. There are also practical reasons to deviate--perhaps there are trees that block the southern light and you do not wish to disturb them.
