Amazing Sheddies
We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.
This winning shed from 2019 is the BUX End
A fascinating shed based on a hobbit house, that also is the workshop of the sheddie who makes making armour and chainmail.
We dug out the back garden in January 2018 to build a sunken hobbit hole. Unfortunately after hitting bedrock that we could not break through we ended up putting some of the 22 tonnes of wet clay back in the hole, which was a bit demoralising! After sourcing local reclaimed bricks and timber we finished the hole some 8 weeks later

My shed has now hosted more than 100 lockdown teaching videos for my geography students. The students still might not be able to explain glacier dynamics to you but they can tell you all about my shed! Look, it virtually owns my YouTube channel youtube.com/channel/UCeTPR…
