You may ask what have sheds got to do with helping the environment, as a lot of them are made from Wood
Well the shed industry is starting to green itself up.
Some wood used for sheds and garden furniture are harvested unsustainably – from ancient forests, which is bad, so look out for the following schemes Forest Stewardship Council (FSC US, UK) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC), read more about these labels.
Of course a lot of sheddies are using reclaimed wood, this will not only save the energy to make from new but will help sustain the raw materials, and if you are handy then, you have a unique shed and it could win Shed of the Year!
One thing you can go to help is to create a green living roof for your shed, lots of great info here, and here. This promotes wildlife in your garden.
If you want to generate electricity for your shed, then you can always make a windturbine or solar panel.
Shed of the year has been announced. Welcome Sheddie, this blog is about sheds! You can share your shed, or view other people's sheds. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed.
