Solar Shed Helpful Hints! ■ The Location Positioning of the Solar Shed in relation to your house or garden is an important consideration and unless your house or Solar already faces South you may be missing out on the solar benefits of the sun. To take advantage of solar gain, orient the Solar Shed so that the roof windows are facing southward. If you intend to use the Solar Shed for starting plants or growing into the late fall, it would be best to have it facing 150 East or West of true South.
