The Joy of Garden Sheds: From Storage to Obsession

Garden sheds dot backyards nationwide—potting stations, storage, offices, playrooms. But for "sheddies," they're a passion.

Shed Culture

Websites and blogs celebrate conversions and humor: "99% of shed spiders are named Boris," "A shed is for life, not just for spiders." Merchandise includes calendars, miniatures (one sold for £1,000+), even a full-sized knitted shed.

National Shed Week

Since 2007, a July week celebrates sheds (government declined official recognition). Highlight: Shed of the Year contest. 2007 winner: a Roman Temple conversion with columns, murals, amphora. Media frenzy followed—TV, radio, newspapers, film interest.

Enter Your Shed

2008 contest starts July 7. Judges include Sarah Beeny and Dr. Kathryn Ferry. Categories: garden shed, office, unique. Anyone can enter.

Your shed might be the next star.
