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.

Of course you can always try one of these great shed related companies.

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?

I was lucky enough to be sent a Eco Lantern from the Trevor Baylis range of Eco products, of course Trevor is one of our shed judges for this years Shed of the Year, so hopefully we can get one to give away to the lucky shed winner.

I have mentioned my exploits at getting Mrs UW’s summerhouse lite up, but was looking for something else, and those nice people over at tcl products the people who manufacture trev’s stuff, kindly send me one to try out, so there are some benefits running the worlds sheddiest website.

anyway my mini review.. trying not to be biased..

It was like Shedmas all over again, could not wait to open the lamp and crank it up, ok I need to get a life but gadgets in boxes make me happy.

The product has trevor’s signature on it and his mug on the box, alas without his trademark pipe, and the now standard in these products the wonderful wind up crank at the bottom, I had to wind it up for about 3 minutes beforehand, but then they say it will give you 20mins of light for 1 mins winding.

Its not going to light up your whole shed, but as a standby and for reading in the shed, I think it will be an great addition to the lighting arsenal.

It has 5 X LED lights with standby glow light

if you can’t be bother to wind it up then it comes with a 12v in car charger as well, so useful for camping and out and about if your need some quick lighting, maybe when theres a power cut.

also its looks a bit like a crystal ball, so you can always earn some cash telling fortunes from your shed.

It’s great to see these windup products coming out and its all thanks to one man and his idea of a wind up radio..

First there was the Beer belly now there is a something for the shedlady in your life that The Pub landlord would back.

TheWine rack,

This comfortable sports-style bra contains a special boob-enhancing polyurethane bladder that can be filled with your drink of choice. Simply slip it on, fill with wine or any other beverage you fancy and wear it under your regular clothes. You can then indulge in a spot of stealth drinking via the Wine Rack’s adjustable drinking tube. With a rack like this girls’ nights out will never be the same again. As for boys’ nights out, well, the mind boggles.

* Drinking tube long enough to route as you wish.

What every next the nappy hip flask?
