1st Place
12' Monterey
- Pike Road, Alabama
What more is there to say about this picture? This stunning Monterey is truly something out of a fairly tale. The property is incredible on its own, but this private gazebo island takes it all to another level. Romantic, elegant, and the runaway winner of our 2019 photo contest.

2nd Place
10' x 10' Bala Bunkie
- Parry Sound, Ontario
Quintessential cottage charm at its finest! The autumn backdrop is a perfect setting for the traditional charm of the Bala Bunkie. It’s perfect for extra cottage spillover, a space for the kids or a private area to unwind.

3rd Place
8' Catalina
Houston, Texas
As seen here, the Catalina integrates itself beautifully into the surrounding garden and landscaping. With its 5-sided footprint, the Catalina is perfect for tricky corner lot placements. It accentuates the surrounding garden as much as it stands out on its own with its painted trim and cedar shingles.
