It’s the perfect Man shed but he does let the wife and his friends in for a drink.
What our judges said.
“what a inspiring bunch of sheds this year, congratulations to the winner, let me know when England are playing next” Sarah Beeny
This looks like great fun, and those trapezoidal windows in the roof! not an easy thing to do, and the builder provided the best description. Great job, I want to have a drink there. – Lloyd Alter (treehugger)
Like the ceiling fan idea. If I had a shed like this with a bar in it I’d never leave. – Tony (Last years shed of the year winner)
“Pubs and sheds. It feels like there’s a natural link between them, two of the world’s greatest building concepts which are far more than the bricks and mortar (or timber and felt) from which they’re constructed. As soon as you step inside a great shed, you immediately have a warm and comfortable sensation, and that’s exactly how you should feel in a great pub too. Bring the two together and – BINGO! – you’ve got a very worthy winner indeed.” – Alex from Shedworking
I would like to thanks everyone involved this year for Shed of the year 2008, the judges, the main sponsors – Garden Buildings Direct, our other sponsors – the “cheese shed” and “Make mine a builders tea” and of course the biggest thanks go to all the sheddies who took part, without you readersheds.co.uk is nothing.
It was a close vote in the end with the following wonderful sheds behind Tim
then closely followed by
Green Gables
all the finalists are here.
Look out for the international shed of the year and our photo competition winners later in the week.
Hi my name is Kate Owen and I am currently putting together a film about Britains love of the shed, especially unusual and quirky ones like yours. I would love to maybe talk to you more about it if you wouldn't mind..my email address is [email protected] I would really appreciate any information you could give me. Many thanks Kate
can i ask how the plot thickens shed got to be runner up in 2008. I can't understand what is so special about it.
Clearly the shed named ‘Jalsa Lodge’ was by far the best, it was the most modern with completely different features.
Shed of the year is nice – dont think it deserved top spot.

Excellent, now he just needs a shed brewery to supply his bar. Conveniently, there are SHED brewers in East Anglia…
A quality winner to a quality competition. Cheers Tim, well deserved win, and Cheers too Uncle Wilco for making the whole celebration happen – I expect you could do with a drink now yourself.

This shed is the best, born out of inspiration and hard work and enjoyed now by so many people it is such a worthy winner – I can’t wait to get back and settle in at bar for lots of celebratory drinks – I hope the prices don’t go up now it’ s National Shed of the Year! -haha. Well done – true recognition for a great achievement!
Hi Duncan’,
I can’t wait to have a few celebratory drinks with you as well. But as for prices don’t even joke about it. There are already people speculatng as to wether or not hospitality comes at a price- nonsence of course- but there you go
See you soon Dad
