The Problem We Solve
Every clear night, serious astronomers lose 30–60 minutes dragging equipment outside, cooling it down, and polar aligning — only to pack it all back before sunrise. The Backyard SkyShed ends that forever.
Your telescope lives permanently mounted inside. The motorized roll-off roof opens in seconds. You're observing within minutes of sunset.
How It Works →
Built for Astronomers
The integrated warm room keeps you comfortable while your optics acclimate. A 70-amp electrical panel powers your mounts, cameras, dew heaters, and computers. Seven-foot walls give clearance for any telescope setup.
From imaging targets to visual observation — the SkyShed is your personal observatory, built to last decades.

Nine sizes, starting at $18,070. Every model includes the motorized roll-off roof, electrical panel, and warm room.
What Our Customers Say
I spent years lugging my C14 in and out of the garage. The SkyShed changed everything. I'm out observing twice as often because setup is just walking outside and pressing a button.
The build quality is exceptional. My AP1100 has been polar aligned for eight months and hasn't moved. I didn't think I'd spend this much on a shed, but it's really a permanent observatory.
Delivery and installation were completely professional. The crew had it up and the roof running in one day. I was imaging M31 that same night.
