Awesome...
Beats my 'liberated from a building site' portakabin shed hands down (aquired by the previous owner I might add).
Must get creative with it...
Upturned boat sails to Shed of the Year title
Take one upturned wooden boat, a few old old windows and doors, a wood burner and some 12V solar-powered lights and you've got the recipe for the 2013 Shed of the Year - a magnificent construction which saw off over 1,900 rivals to sail to the pinnacle of sheddie glory.

Curtains! Pah! Curtains? Are you some kind of metrosexual - with neither beard nor pipe? I spit on you, with your soft namby-pamby ways, with your magazines and your moisturiser...

ose a ferret in.Although I'm a bit concerned by him refrigerating his beer and cider. Proper rough scrumpy, which is what one should drink in a shed, ought to be drunk warm and cloudy, and slowly eating its way through the glass. And real beer shouldn't be drunk cold.

When my dad was growing up the toothless, cackling man on the allotments would just squeeze rotting apples into a bucket and drink the result.

I notice that although the gentleman is drinking ale, he has not brewed it himself!
His shed will be complete when he has an assortment of barrels and demijohns fitted with fermentation locks in the corner.
While he is completing his fitting out he will need a small transistor radio permanently tuned to TMS on Radio 4.
