Thanks to Ai for the subject line of this week’s Behind the shed newsletter.
Entries are coming in, but a bit slower than normal, lets hope the weather picks up.
Last week I launched a call for help, to move to a faster and modern web server for shed of the year, plus I want to move the 36,300 photos of sheds into the cloud at some point so it’s faster for all of you.
So many thanks to the sheddies who have shown their support already.

The Hut House - Unexpected/Unique - Dorset #shedoftheyear @plankbridge
"The Hut House design comes equipped with clever space-saving solutions, from concealed cupboards to under-stair wicker basket storage, as well as every modern-day comfort, including a fully fitted kitchen, loft bedroom and ensuite shower room. "
The Iron Maid Inn - Pub/Entertainment - Cornwall #shedoftheyear owned by Jodie-Mae Stenning and Dale Kinsman
"It’s a rock themed pub shed! Perfect place for a big get-together or a quiet drink listening to good music!"
"The shed itself is a log cabin, the build was pretty easy, the interior design took a lot longer and is still a work in progress! We are constantly adding different band memorabilia and other fun finds! "
How about an international shed, sheddies?
The Outhouse Inn - Pub/Entertainment - Sweden #shedoftheyear owned by Sheddie Gary Russell
"I am an expat from London who moved to Sweden and wanted a slice of home mixed with a Swedish twist.
The building was a storage space turned into a multifunctional guest cottage, games room and pub.
I renovated the space myself using mainly old materials left over from renovating our house, which gives it the quaint style.
The toilet room was added later on in the renovation by cutting into the wood shed that takes up the right third of the building.
The Outhouse has a space of 23m square and took a year to transform, although I will probably continue to add new features long into the future"
