After a brilliant last few months some amazing sheds and very talented and innovative sheddies – the time has come to announce the sheds that have made it to the final of Shed of the year 2012 – which of course is sponsored by our friends at Cuprinol.

Some frantic last minute voting and a lot of sheddies canvassing for votes on the social networks but the eight sheds with the highest votes in the public competition are.

Eco Shed category

The Solar Shed Kevin Holland Norfolk

A category that gets stronger every year – with a lot of people going the green way of doing things in their shed.

Normal Shed category

Mark’s Folly Mark Mason,Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

They may be called a Folly but I think you will have to agree that this normal shed is great

Garden Office category

Bostin Betty Paula,Landlocked in Birmingham

It’s great to see a Shepard’s hut design being used for a bit of shedworking

Cabin/Summerhouse category

Colne Valley Postal History Museum Steve Knight,Halstead, Essex

This years category winner shows the passion sheddies have for odd things!

Workshop/Studio category

The Stencil Shed Syd,Malmesbury, Wiltshire, Workshop/Studio

A very creative space with a very off the shed wall sheddie

Unique shed category

The Water Shed Geoff Hill,Smuggler’s Cove

It’s not called unique for nothing – each year in this category you play a blinder sheddies!

Pub shed category

Woodhenge John[ Henry] Plumridge,A garden in Shrewsbury

The most highly fought category and what is becoming a British institution – A pub at the end of your garden

Tardis shed category

BlueBox Type 40 John Williams,Newport, South Wales

John has taken the category again this year – with his wonderful example of the time lords famous shed 😉

I do hope you will join me in saying what a great effort the sheddies have gone to again this year and an amazing collection of garden buildings – a lot of quirkyness this year but with a practical edge.

Now it’s up to the shed judges (Sarah Beeny , Neil Gaiman, Alex from shedworking, Shed of the year 2011 Winner Jon Earl and my goodself) to make the difficult decision, who out of these sheds will be Shed of the year 2012 – The winner will be announced during Shed Week – which starts on July 2nd 2012

During Shed week I will also post the Top 5 sheds in each category so that the other sheddies can see how they did.
