Amazing Sheddies
We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.
This winning shed from 2016 is the West Wing
A fascinating shed that was made over a long time, before shed of the year was a thing - then our paths crossed!
My shed is made from 90% recycled materials ,It is a project that has taken me 8 years to build(health reasons,won’t bore you)the roof is wild turf but because of angle I used 400 milk cartons cut in half,which took a year to collect,popped holes in and layered bottom with shingle for drainage.

The Pallet Palace - "Made from 134 pallets & 8 scaffold boards which I collected locally from Facebook Marketplace, entirely for free. It's got three main jobs, bicycle stuff, tools & gardening." Lockdown - Surrey #shedoftheyear @woodallc87 https://t.co/HzwyxcHurC https://t.co/dXHol2cN47
A hobbit inspired shed - we get a few of these of the years since the original LOTR Films came out, but this is a great example.

Geeky Kids of the 80s (hands up) will remember Tim Hunkin, he of Channel Four television series The Secret Life of Machines, well he’s back on YouTube (from his workshop) - great to teach your geeky kids about stuff
Big fan of Kerry’s tidy shed

the metal lathe has gone to a much better place so I now have some space on the shelf for more ‘stuff’.. well I guess I do have a load still to sort through and a #CNC3018 to stash out of the way somewhere..!? bit of a tidy day going on in the #makerSHED.. #shedoftheyear #SHED https://t.co/dm165RTaEh
Talking of Retro stuff , geek Jason Bradbury posts some great 80s/90s tech always worth a watch/listen - his retro gaming videos are worth a watch as well.
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.
