I am trialing a black (and other dark) version of the popular Love Sheds Tshirt For Shed Week (as Mrs uncle wilco says I don’t look as fat in a black tshirt!)

If you want to buy one click here.

I am not 100% sure if it works on Black, but you can get the White ones with Love sheds on the front and readersheds on the back here.

You can also buy a Tshirt for your ShedDog

and Shedbaby

Some great Mugs

and some badges which I may get for next year.

while you are here, if you have a few pennies spare to help with the Shed Server fund, after the amount of traffic I have got over the past week, my host suggest I upgrade for next year, they have been great and kept it running as much as possible.

I am testing out some software from AffiliateWindow, that allows a shop to be created and people can find sheds and other sheddie type things to buy together in one place from various suppliers.

Give it a go if you are looking to buy your first shed.

So if you are looking for

6′ x 4′ Sheds
7′x5′ Sheds
8′x6′ Sheds
10′x6′ Sheds
10′x8′ Sheds

or Apex sheds, Metal Sheds, Plastic sheds, Log cabins, Summerhouses, , workshops or Garden offices

My final aim is to try and create a one stop shop for people looking for looking for a shed, to buy like a trip advisor for sheds (shedadvisor maybe!), but I have a long way to go and will try and have to get data from various companies all in the same format and allow readersheds to rate sheds to buy and companies, so watch this space.

of course if you buy a shed from this system, then readersheds get a percentage of the sale!

If you can’t find what you are looking for then of course try our Shed Week Sponsor Garden buildings direct who are having a great Sale at the moment.

I was going to do one of those clever April Fool posts about Sheds on the moon etc, but thought sod it..

This weeks Shed is a Summerhouse, but one that has been built by scratch by the owner Mark

I built it from scratch with No instructions!, and now its stronger and much classier than it was ever meant to be. This thing has cost me a small fortune

But now Mark’s better half has said they are moving.

and now our Lass says were moving! Imagine, the blood and sweat that goes into building something like this and then being told that were moving……shed’s, there not for girls!. Unfortunatly Shedwood Woodwood wont fit in our new garden, so is there anyone interested in a bargin?

So if anyone is interested in Marks shed please post comments here and I will pass them onto the sheddie.

I will ask Mark to provide some more info on sizes,construction etc.

More images after the click.

So would do you sheddies think about having a Sheddies sheds for Sales section on readersheds?
