We Build Backyard Spaces That Work
Most Ontario homeowners who contact us have the same problem. They need more usable space but don't want a renovation, a contractor in their home for weeks, or a structure that looks like an afterthought in their backyard.
We solve that problem. We design the structure, build it in our Port Stanley shop, deliver it to your property, and install it in a single day. You come home to a finished space that's ready to use.
That's been our model since 2014. It still is.

Since 2014, BES has been designing, building, and installing custom backyard structures across southwestern Ontario, the GTA, Ottawa, and cottage country.
Built on a Different Model
Sebastian started Backyard Escape Studios (BES) in 2014 after seeing how badly the Ontario market was serving homeowners who wanted a quality backyard structure.
The options were bad. Kit companies shipped flat-packs and left buyers to figure out assembly, insulation, and installation on their own. Local contractors quoted weeks of on-site construction for work that didn't need it. The structures being built weren't engineered to Ontario conditions.
BES was built on a different model: design it properly, build it in a controlled shop environment, deliver it finished, install it in a day. 800+ builds later, that model hasn't changed.
"Because creating reflects something bigger than ourselves."
— Sebastian Kellner, Founder
From First Call to Finished Structure
Most customers are surprised by how straightforward the process is. Here is what to expect from start to install day.
Tell Us About Your Space
Share your backyard dimensions, intended use, and budget. Most initial quotes are based on photos and measurements. No site visit required to get started.
We Design It Together
We come back with a design sketch and an itemized quote. You see exactly what you are paying for before committing to anything. No vague estimates.
We Build It in Our Shop
Every BES structure is prefabricated in our Port Stanley shop. Wall panels, roof panels, and siding are built and pre-stained before we ever arrive at your property. That's how we control quality and how we install in a day.
We Install It in Your Backyard
One day. Our own crew handles everything. You come home to a finished structure that is ready to use. No extended construction zone, no weeks of disruption.
164+ Five-Star Reviews Across Ontario
From downtown Toronto to cottage country. Here is what homeowners say about working with BES.
"We did a lot of research and backyard escapes came out as the most reliable and affordable. Highly recommend, you get a very premium product. The workers were incredible, finished in a day despite the rain. Backyard escapes team also provided a lot of help and advice along the way, we never felt pushed into making a decision and they were very flexible. Not sure what more you could want."
"Sebastian and team were fantastic. Living in Toronto we don't have a lot of outdoor green space, so getting a shed with a green roof was a complete win. Level of service from day one was fantastic and the installation crew worked tirelessly all day in crazy heat to get the job done."
"From the very start, Backyard Escape Studios was a pleasure to work with. They responded quickly to my initial email and provided excellent support throughout the sales process. The installation team was extremely professional and did an excellent job."
