Raise a smile with the Shed of the Year competition

Posted by Landscape Juice on June 12, 2013 at 10:12am

If you want some inspiration, or just a smile, check out the finalists for the prestigious Shed of the Year competition.

Close on 14,000 votes were cast to narrow the search down to the winners of eight categories who are now competing for the ultimate prize.

In the last round is a replica tardis, a cider bar and a boat-shaped den, modelled on HMS Victory and HMS Warrior.

The Queen Emma Galleon is the work of Clare Kapma-Saunders, from Southampton that includes a top deck, rigging, skull and crossbones, a hammock and captain's quarters.

The competition, now in its seventh year, is sponsored by Cuprinol and the overall winner will be announced on 1 July, during National Shed Week.

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "
