Started as just a reply to a tweet about Shed of the year - then it ended with band Shed Seven possibly being judges for Shed of the year 2022 ;) - sometimes twitter is a nice place.

Shed Seven

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.
