Our shed is a portable shed which we take to events worldwide to exhibit its main feature, namely the Camera obscura optics. Once set up it is open to the public to come in and enjoy at their leisure. Tens of thousands of people have enjoyed Willett and Pattesons camera obscura in its nine year history.
here is a video of it in action.
Hi I am a freelance journalist working on an article about garden buildings for women for the interiors pages of Fabulous magazine in the News of the World. We are looking for women who have added to their home with their own super-shed, garden building or summerhouse in their garden.
Perhaps they’ve converted it into a mini-spa, private boudoir, home cinema or cocktail bar, or use it as a shoe repository or extra wardrobe - certainly something very feminine that proves a garden retreat is no longer just for men and can be a cost-effective, hassle free way of adding room to your home.
Women should ideally be in their 20s, 30s or early 40s and we would need to photograph them and the interior and exterior of their garden building. Please do call me on 020 8 393 3742 if you can help or if you know anyone who could. many thanks John
An Englishman’s home may be his castle, but a man’s garden shed can be an even bigger source of pride.
Wolverhampton electrician Tony Levy has decorated his with more than 150 machine makers’ plates salvaged from derelict factories, foundries, mills and furnaces that once churned out the products that made the region famous.
His impressive collection, which adorns the shed at the bottom of his Wednesfield garden, includes name-plates from firms long gone and are a reminder of the Black Country’s great industrial past. Father-of-six Tony says: “Some are quite ornate and very old, and more than a few bear the town of origin.
I am trying to do a post about what sheddies want for this year, so could you comment or email me with one thing that would make your shed year, it could be -
I have already had a few emails from certain sheddies… but it would be great to get an overview of what one thing would make the sheddie world happy
Built as a Xmas present to give my boys some space to call their own, Haven’t seen them since Xmas Morning !

it has already had its share of wildlife visitors, the local cats like to sit on the roof as it is under another roof, and nice and warm, squirrels use it for the same reason, and it has even been visited by an Urban Fox ! thankfully only to join the other wildlife’s activity of sitting on the roof,
Cor I wish I had my own Boy’s own shed when I was growing up.
fare enough I had a dartboard in the attic, but it was no shed.
Here are some more of the great photos.
According the Sporing life
Veteran John MaGowan put his straight-sets triumph over Chris Mason at the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship down to a spot of practice in his garden shed after winning his first-round clash.
The 67-year-old qualifier, who only booked his spot at the event in last month’s PDPA Qualifiers, outclassed Mason - who has been to three PDCPro Tour finals this year.
I’ve been practising hard for this. I’ve a shed at home and have been in there ever since I qualified, and with plenty of local players too. “It’s sharpened me up and that showed.”
Congrats John, if you are reading this why not share your shed with our sheddies over at www.readersheds.co.uk

Anyway this one is for a sheddie, so not great news.
A 71-year-old pensioner met a shocking end when his frugal attempt to illuminate his yard with power siphoned from the National Grid backfired spectacularly.
The gentleman in question illegally opened a major power junction box at the front of his house, intending to hard-wire a cable to his garden shed. Unfortunately, the poor chap attempted to do this rewiring during a major downpour.
The fatal result was all too predictable. He was immediately deep fried and declared deceased at the scene.
Lessons:
1–Don’t hardwire your shed to a local power substation
2–Don’t hardwire your shed to a power line… in the rain!
3–There _is_ such a thing as being too frugal.
