Discover the Versatility of Derksen Portable Buildings: From Home Gyms to Golf Simulators

What if your backyard shed could do more than store tools? With Derksen portable buildings, it can—becoming anything from a home gym to a golf simulator man cave. These adaptable builds are taking outdoor structures to the next level. Let’s explore the many ways you can transform one into a functional, inspiring space.



🏋️‍♂️ 1. Home Gym That Fits Your Routine

Imagine starting every day with a quick workout steps from your backdoor. A Derksen building—equipped with insulation, electrical outlets, and ventilation systems—makes this your reality. Add rubber flooring and mirrors, and you’ve got a dedicated fitness zone that helps you stay motivated and on-track, with minimal effort.

🏊‍♂️ 4. Chic Pool House for Entertaining

Hosting family and friends poolside? Derksen buildings can be reimagined as stylish pool houses, complete with changing rooms, seating areas, and storage for towels and toys. Add a mini fridge and a countertop bar to turn it into a hub for summer fun.
