Behind the shed - A weekly email about sheds - Issue #3
Firstly...
We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.
Boat Roofed shed
The roof is an upturned boat, It is located at an altitude of 750ft above sea level in the Cambrian Mountain range near Machynlleth in mid-Wales.
This is one of my favourite sheds not only because it's quirky and pretty unique - the location is amazing, it won in 2013 and Alex the sheddie has become a good friend of mine - he DJs Dub Reggae, which is not my type of music, but you can have a great time in that shed listening to it until the sun comes up (If I remember correctly)
I have finally added a main page on readersheds with all the Shed of the year winners on, only taken me 14 years ( was a blog post before)
To start the 15th! Year of Shed of the year
Entries for #shedoftheyear 2021
Some great new entries for this year
This would be a perfect potting shed , with the half perspex roof a modern day dare I say it greenhouseShed combo
Plus we have a shedload of sheds that have been built in the lock down
We have introduced a "Lockdown" category as well for new entries, but let me know, and I will move your shed into that category if you want.
This a a beautiful looking shed, all hand made as well.
Interesting sheds
Previous entries that are piquing sheddies interest online.
The cut wood used for decoration is turning heads.

Love these sheds/barns from Instagram user Nate
A random shed popped up, and it got me thinking about a previous winner, Reg Miller, who is no longer with us, Reg won in 2010, and he was a big character and even before the TV show came along (he would have been ace on that) he was supporting and promoting Sheds from day one, he loved what we did - bringing sheddies together and showing off their creativity.
What a view this sheddies has got in his snow covered garden office
Working on stats and got all the keywords that the sheddies have used over the past 14 years.
Your Builds
If you are starting a shed build in your garden, could be storage, office, pub, workshop & definitely if it's a folly, then let me know as I would like to follow the progress and pass it onto the sheddies who are maybe looking to do the same.
