Behind the shed - A weekly email about sheds - Issue #6
Amazing Sheddies
We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.
This winning shed from 2007 is the Roman Temple
This was the shed that started the whole thing, our first ever winner from 2007.
It and the sheddie Tony inspired me to carry on #shedoftheyear, as people were actually interested in my little shed idea, and now we are in our 15th year!
Entries for #shedoftheyear 2021
Some great new entries for this year, including
Tad A Mab
This shed is built on a space where there used to be an old outside toilet and coal storage - the sheddie really has a great imagination
A Ba Ra Ya
I do like a shed that's been built from all sorts of recycled material.
Interesting sheds
Previous entries that are piquing sheddies interest online.
An Amazing ABC cinema shed
I tweeted this out as part of #fontsunday as the signage is a thing of beauty, but it's taken on a life of its own as people are nostalgic for their local cinema.
Library Shed
I posted this beautiful shed (again) for #worldbookday.
It's a lovely bit of work, ok an architectural designed shed but something we would all love in our gardens
ShedSocial
Former #shedoftheyear winner Joel who we featured in issue4 of Behind the shed - showing off his books, the BOOK of SHED is a great read for anyone starting out on their shed adventure.
When the National Theatre (in that London) had a "shed" outside that they used to have performances in, I was working in London at the time and walked past it a few times, but was too hesitant to ask to see the inside!
Building a potential entry for #shedoftheyear
When #shedoftheyear was on the Telly, Architect Laura was one of the judges, and now she wants to enter her latest lockdown project! What do you think she should be allowed ;)
It's a lovely looking summerhouse, and it's on a rotating platform, just like Bernard Shaws's
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.
Spread the #shedlove #shedoftheyear
