Behind the shed - Issue #1

Welcome to the first and hopefully not the last email that celebrates all things shed - today will post some of my current favourite entries to #shedoftheyear also a few links to interesting shed stuff.

As you have signed up (or been previously interested in #shedoftheyear), you will get the chance to win a book from this library at the end of Feb (so stay connected) and I will pick someone.

Anyway enjoy and excuse the spelling/grammar.

Firstly...

We look back at last year's winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.

Bedouin Tree Shed

A peaceful sanctuary to escape our urban surroundings. Ideal for occasional tree hugging and entertaining.

Interesting sheds

Previous entries that are piquing sheddies interest online.

We have not had many follies added to #shedoftheyear this year yet- I love them as it shows a passion for a build that may have gone a little out of control (ahem some may say a shed like #granddesigns)
Some previous follies here >

A great American Writing shed

Brilliant shed conversion from BBC presenter

Here’s something I’ve been working on for the last few weeks. I’ve built a “studio” in my garden shed.

I see sheds everywhere

This type of norimono or palanquin is called 'ajiro-kago' or a 'palanquin of bamboo and lacquer.' They were usually used by men, not women, in particular the shogun when they were visiting their temples.

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.

Spread the #shedlove #shedoftheyear

The first one is a great Maker Shed that's also being used for education during lockdown.
