Over the years we have had a lot of eccentric sheddies, from a guy who make vehicles from Wicker, lots of Doctor Who sheddies & their TARDIS sheds, a pirate king with his own parrot, A Bad DJ who took a boat up a mountain and made it his shed roof , a Dad’s Army fan, and not forgetting our first ever winner, who dressed as Roman and built himself a Temple.
Of course, these are the sorts of sheds get the coverage in the media, and I love these sheddies as much as the “normal” ones.
It’s great to see sheds entered that have been built because of a need or a story about the sheddie or their loved ones, or just doing something nice for the community.
ShedTV
When you enter Shed of the year, if you have a video of your shed on YouTube, then you can enter the link, and it will embed on your shed page, so people can have a good tour of your shed.
From today, If you have a second YouTube video, then I can now add that as well (Maybe the build video), to your shed page (email me)

The Stay - Pub/Entertainment - Torfaen #shedoftheyear owned by Mike Baillon
"My wife has Parkinson's, so I wanted to turn our shed into somewhere she could do her yoga and relax.
I stripped out our old shed, repainted it, insulated it then did some first fix electrics and plaster boarded it out. I had it plastered then second fixed the electrics whilst fitting a sauna and some kitchen cabinets including one for our tumble dryer.
I've fitted a plasma TV on an angle bracket so you can watch it in the sauna as well as the main part of the STAY whilst exercising or watching films on Netflix."
