Amazing Sheddies

We look back at a previous winner to inspire your friends & family to enter their shed.

This winning shed from 2015 is the Inshriach Distillery

A few years ago this was a dilapidated hen house and an assorted pile of old junk. Now, after some very sporadic work it has become the Inshriach Farm shop, Ladies waiting room, Saloon Bar and Distillery. T

Sheddie Walter was recently talking to STV news about how lockdown/COVID-19 & Brexit has affected his Gin business which he runs from the award-winning shed

On Inshriach Estate near Aviemore, gin distiller Walter Micklethwait, has suffered a double whammy.

He also has holiday accommodation which has been idle due to the Covid lockdown.

A Popular Pub Shed

This has been our most viewed shed this week - two weeks in a row - I think people want traditional at the moment - but we love all pub sheds for

Bernard Shaw's Writing Hut

It revolves so it can catch the sun. Its windows are fitted with Vitaglass - a special kind of healthy glass that lets the suns beneficial ultraviolet rays through.

A bit of shed exercise

This shed has come up a few times this week in searches, as people want to convert existing buildings into sheds.

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.
