Firstly...
It's finally hit me that I have been doing this for 15 years - I was young when I started - I'm 50 this year !

Amazing Sheddies
We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.
The allotment roof shed created by Joel won in 2014, is a very interesting shed as he put his garden on his roof but also used to shed for his art and his music - a very talented sheddie Joel
Joel has gone onto great things since his Shed of the year win - he builds brilliant sheds for people and is also currently the small garden expert on the BBC show #YourGardenMadePerfect
Tonight on #yourgardenmadeperfect I have my biggest budget of the series! To design something quite swishims for a family in Ealing
@tommasseyuk and @ElksSmith battle it out for the other garden. BBC2 @8pm

Great to see businesses being run from a shed, have you been doing it during the lockdown?

Interesting sheds
Previous entries that are piquing sheddies interest online.
It's just a bit mad
The Hickshaw "Its a multi-functional, portable (on wheels), built from salvaged materials-shed structure. The goal was to make it as small & simple (to construct) as possible, & multi- faceted" - Workshop/Studio - Stoughton, MA- USA #shedoft#shedoftheyear/readersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHAR…/

This workshop shed is getting a lot of likes/looks on Pinterest at the moment - it's not surprising it's a great space.
The Idea Room - "It is both aesthetically pleasing and pratical. It keeps nice and toasty" Workshop/Studio from Warwickshire #shedoftheyearreadersheds.co.uk/share.cfm?SHAR…

What did you do in the lockdown? Daniel and his son built a Saxon house - which is very shed like (and has now entered it for 2021)
My 9 year old son for convincing us to help him build a Saxon house in the garden from recycled materials.

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
And finally...
We officially launched Shed of the year 2021 to the media this week, and it's been busy but even after 15 years I'm loving it - the sheds are on fire!
IF you or your friends and family have a great shed that you think will make it as #shedoftheyear 2021 then sign up
