We have only just opened entry to next years Shed of the year competition (July 2011) but we have had some great entries already

You have nearly a year for you to get your shed in a great winning way

I will be asking some previous category winners for some tips for you potential sheddies in the coming weeks

So if you would like to Share your shed, then please make sure you have some good quality photos.

of course if you have a shed that is very different from the norm, then please add as much info as you can when you add your shed, so that the rest of the sheddies can get a good idea.

Of course you can like our page on facebook or follow me on twitter to find out

I was a bit touched when Shed of the year winner Reg Miller sent me this photo, you sheddies are great and make Shed Week and Shed of the year what it is..

I wish I was there as I know Reg has some rum with my name on it

anyway Reg says that the shed will be in “PICK ME UP” magazine next week, so all rush to the shops!

I was just on that radio 2 drivetime show with Simon Mayo doing a follow up of a piece they did with Richard Hammond about his shed yesterday, the hamsters dad’s shed sounds great, I always say shedism is the genes.

I was introduced as the International Shed expert but as you well know Iam just the bloke who likes looking at your sheds!.

Anyway Simon accepted my invitation to become a judge for Shed of the year 2011, of course he follow previous DJ judge Chris Evans, and look what happened to him after he was judge, shed judge is a great media stepping stone

He does have some shed previous as he was on the allotment show the Big Dig a few years back, before they were fashionable and did a great episode on sheds if I remember.

Sally traffic said she will be getting a shed, so I hope she shares her shed soon, also I wonder what sort of shed Simon’s mate Mark Kermode has – a cinema shed maybe?

I have opened entry for Shed of the year 2011 competition early so you can SHARE YOUR SHED here, do you think your shed can beat this years winner – The Lady Sarah

We have had a wonderful shed week and Shed of the year and Iam thinking about next years competition already , so before I open up entry for 2011 Shed of the year in a few weeks.

I was thinking of cutting the categorys back to simplify the site and make it less confusing (yes and a redesign next year) currently we have the following shed categorys which seem to overlap in certain areas.

[Normal]
[Eco-Sheds]
[Garden Office]
[Cabin]
[Workshop]
[Unique]
[Summerhouse]
[Pub]
[Studio]
[Tardis]
[Hut]
[Wooden]
[Other]

I would like to set up the categorys like this

Normal Shed – Wooden sheds merged into this category.
Eco Shed
Garden Office
Cabin/Summerhouse – Cabin and Summerhouse merged in one category
Workshop/Studio – Workshop and Studio merged in one category
Pub Shed
Tardis
Other – Not sure about this one – maybe merged it with Normal – or call normal “Garden Shed”
Unique

What do you sheddies think – thanks wilco
