Andrew Wilcox - Head Sheddie I♥sheds on Instagram: ”“This shed is called The Frankenshed because it was brought back from the dead. It was a standard 8′ x 4′ timber shed that had been left to rot at the bottom of a neglected garden. When I began renovating it the floor was 80% rotten, so was the roof and so was the window sill. By all rights it should have been torn down and replaced. But I saw the potential for something special. ” Colourful - Greater London #shedoftheyear owned by Archie Proudfoot https://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?shareshed=8296 #shedsofinstagram #shed #workshop #artist #artistsoninstagram”

Andrew Wilcox - Head Sheddie I♥sheds on Instagram: “The Smugglers’ Notch - “The Smuggler’s Notch, named for a mountain pass in Vermont in the US, has a bar under a canopy facing onto the garden. Behind the bar is the traditionally styled ‘Snug’ with a collection of books and artefacts, some of which used to grace my father’s home bar. The wood burning fire in the hearth is a simulation, as is the fish tank.” Pub/Entertainment - West Midlands #shedoftheyear #pubsheds https://www.readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?shareshed=8307″

The ten best sheds in the world ever!

OK according to me - Uncle Wilco - Head Sheddie and founder of Shed of the year, so yep it's my own view (so I'm biased!), but we have them all from workshops, Bars, Railway sheds, Writing sheds to the very first winner in 2007 - The Roman Temple and a lot of British eccentricity So here are some of my favourite sheds over the past 17 years of running shedoftheyear - well, 10 of them - I love all the sheds, so it was very difficult to get it down to ten :) So, In no particular order.
